The 'Light it up blue' for Autism annual campaign was launched in 2010 by 'Autism Speaks', the largest Autism Organization in the World, along with the international autism community in recognition of UN sanctioned World Autism Awareness Day and April, as World Autism Month in order to commemorate persons with autism and their families.
Thousands of iconic landmarks and buildings join the hundreds of thousands of homes and communities around the world to “light in blue” in support of people living with autism.
Autism-friendly events and educational activities take place during April to increase understanding and acceptance and further support people with autism.
AAA joined the International LIUB Campaign to raise Autism Awareness and organized several activities, such as LIUB across Lebanon, Wear it Blue for Autism, and several Conferences at Schools, Universities and Hotels.
