'Light it up blue'

'Light it up blue' is a global campaign that sees thousands of iconic landmarks, cities and towns around the world turn blue on April 2 to recognise World Autism Awareness Day. The campaign highlights the pressing need for greater public education and awareness of autism in our community.

I didn't know about that Annie, thanks for highlighting it. There are many autistic children at my lovely nephew Jack's school and it's plain to see that greater awareness can only be a good thing.

What a great campaign as very few are aware of the huge spectrum of autism from the very able to the very disable , their needs and understanding of the world is so different to ours

[Dawn Moder]

Oh cool that's different. Nice shot.

@beryl yes - I have worked with a number of children with ASD over the years - all of them special and with varying degrees of autism and all with different needs

Interesting campaign. Your pic is very symbolic. Perhaps they can use it in next year's campaign.

A great campaign. I have a grandson with high functioning Asperger's Syndrome and David too is borderline Asperger, so I know all about it.
What a great photo to bring awareness to the foreground.
