A series of postage stamps by the United Nations Postal Administration will be launched starting on April 2 in honor of World Autism Awareness Day.

The stamps will be available at U.N. offices in New York, Geneva and Vienna. Rorie Katz, creative director for the U.N. Postal Administration, said they expect to print 1 million stamps.

Altman and the other artists are invited to a ceremony at the UN Headquarters in New York, on April 3, 2012. The UN Secretary- General Ban Ki-Moon will dedicate the Autism Awareness stamps at the Autism Speaks Panel discussion with a reception to follow.

On April 2, Dr. Rosa Martinez, President of Strokes of Genius and supported by the McCarton Foundation, will host an art exhibition to honor Altman at the United Nations Plaza from 5-8 PM. For more information about Strokes of Genius go to http://www.rcmautismnotebook.com
