My post from yesterday mentioned the organisation, Autism Speaks. Founded in 2005, Autism Speaks is the world’s largest Autism advocacy organisation. On World Autism Awareness Day earlier this year, Autism Speaks sponsored the third annual ‘Light it Up Blue’ event…
…[many iconic structures, buildings and landmarks around the world] will shine a bright light on autism as a growing public health crisis.
…Ways members of the community can support Autism Speaks Light It Up Blue campaign:
Light windows or homes with specially marked blue light bulbs and LED lanterns sold exclusively at Home Depot stores nationwide
Download the FREE LIUB iPhone App at the iTunes Store and turn your own pictures blue with different style frames
Bake puzzle piece-shaped cookies and frost them with blue icing, then bring them to your school, work or place of worship to raise autism awareness
Wear blue clothing and the Autism Speaks puzzle piece pin on April 2 and ask your co-workers, schools and friends to wear blue too…
