Light It Up Blue is an awareness event sponsored by Autism Speaks. On April 1st and 2nd, the plan is to simply Light It Blue. April is Autism Awareness Month and to start the month off, Autism Speaks is asking everyone to participate in Light It Up Blue. You can do this by 1) Wearing Blue Clothing, 2) Wear the Autism Puzzle Piece, or 3) Put blue light bulbs in your outdoor fixtures. Start conversations with your co-workers, neighbors, and friends as to why you are lighting your world up blue.
Any awareness one can bring to autism is beneficial to our cause. One in 110 kids are diagnosed with autism. Every 17 minutes, a child is diagnosed. Our children with autism need to be accepted into our world. The more you can learn about this devastating disorder, the better our world will be.
Please on April 1 and April 2nd, Light It Up Blue!
