> 
> 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…
