Yesterday, I shared how we’re lighting up our home for Autism Awareness Day. Today, I’m lit up blue, too!
It’s a little thing, but it makes me happy to do anything I can to show that I support my Moose!

Light it up Blue
Tomorrow is World Autism Awareness Day, and people are encouraged to “light it up blue” to shine a light on autism. We’ll be joining in, with blue lights on the front and back of our home:
“Light it blue” doesn’t have to be for just one day, however. The whole month of April is set aside for Autism Awareness, but it doesn’t even stop there. With the CDC now reporting that as many as 1 in 68 children are diagnosed with autism, we all need to be aware, not just on April 2, or even throughout the month of April, but everyday. Take some time to learn about what autism is and what it isn’t, and maybe we can dispel myths, and show a little extra compassion!
Light It Up Blue
Although I do share Moose’s story here, I’m not one for campaigning for autism awareness, or supporting organizations that do. However, today is World Autism Awareness Day, so I thought I’d pass the word. If you want to wear blue today, in support of Moose and other children, (and their families), like him, feel free. And if you happen to see a house or building, (especially in a major metro area), lit up in blue lights, well that’s why.
