World Autism Awareness Day: April 2 - Light It Up Blue campaign

April 2 the day that people across the country and around the globe commemorate World Autism Awareness Day. It is a day of promise and a time for us to lend our hearts and minds to all who live with autism.

Living with a person with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects the entire family—parents, siblings, and in some families, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Meeting the complex needs of a person with an ASD can put families under a great deal of stress—emotional, financial, and sometimes even physical.

See one of my prior posts regarding past participation in World Autism Awareness Day: April 2 - Light It Up Blue campaign - for World Autism Awareness Day.

The Light It Up Blue campaign is dedicated to raising awareness of autism. The initiative is generally associated with Autism Speaks (CLICK HERE to view the  "Light It Up Blue / Autism Speaks campaign site). It is intended to raise international awareness of autism in support of both World Autism Awareness Day and Autism Awareness Month in the United States.
