What is Autism?Autism is a developmental disorder that impacts a person’s ability to communicate and socialize. Individuals with autism often have repetitive behaviors and debilitating medical issues. Autism is the fastest growing serious developmental disability in the U.S. and costs a family an average of $60,000 a year in out of pocket expenses.
Each April 2, Autism Speaks celebrates the start of its signature campaign, Light It Up Blue, along with the international autism community in commemoration of World Autism Awareness Day.
Light It Up Blue is a unique global campaign that kicks off Autism Awareness Month in April and helps raise awareness about the disorder.
Thousands of iconic landmarks, buildings, hotels, bridges and retail stores join the hundreds of thousands of homes and communities around the globe that “light blue” to spread autism awareness.
