Autism Awareness Month





Today marks the beginning of Autism Awareness Month.
We hope you'll join us in supporting families living with autism, as we are.
It's been a long road, but things are getting better,
not only for Lil' Guy, 
but for the autism community at large.

Here are a few ideas if you would like to be part of our supportive community:

"In honor of people with autism worldwide, iconic landmarks, hotels, sporting venues, concert halls, museums, schools, universities, bridges, retail stores, and thousands of homes will light blue beginning on April 2!

Light Homes, Businesses, Schools, and Landmarks Blue

  • Change outdoor or indoor white bulbs to blue bulbs.

Wear Blue

  • Ask family, friends, coworkers, and staff to wear blue (ties, scarfs, shirts, etc.)

Post Blue

  • Turn your Facebook or Twitter profile picture blue.

Raise Awareness with Blue

  • Distribute information about autism and World Autism Awareness Day 
  • in your establishment, neighborhood, or company.
  • Reach out to local media to let the community know
  • about your great work for the autism community!"

    1. What a nice way to raise awareness Daisy. Is the 'blue' for one day or more?
