adminPathways Autism Trust founding trustee Mr Mudiwa Chinhaire said the event would start with an awareness walk in the morning around Borrowdale Race Course and culminates into a fun day.
The trust was formed last year and its trustees are all parents of autistic children.
He said activities, which include jumping castles and face paintings have been lined up.
“The whole idea is to raise awareness about autism and fund raise for the welfare of children living with autism.
“We are appealing to everyone in the country to come and support this worthy cause,” Mr Chinhaire said.
Officials from the Ministry of Health and Child Welfare, World Health Organisation and other partners are expected to attend the event.
The first Autism Day commemorations in Zimbabwe were held last week on April 2.
Autistic children often fail to communicate verbally, have sensory and cognitive challenges.
They may also appear locked “in their own world”.
An autistic child, said Mr Chinhaire often gazes or stares from the side of their eyes which experts call periphery vision and may not respond to certain sounds.
Science is yet to prove the causes of autism.
