LIGHT IT UP BLUE for Autism Int'l Campaign

The 'Light it up blue' for Autism international campaign was launched in 2010 by 'Autism Speaks', the largest Autism Organization in the World, in recognition of the United Nations World Autism Awareness Day , April 2^nd, in order to commemorate persons with autism and their families, where thousands of iconic landmarks around the world go blue for Autism Awareness.
