April 2nd was Light It Up Blue, I TOTALLY missed this opportunity to support all my friends that face Autism everyday. Although we missed the chance to turn our lights on, I still wanted to make you aware of this really cool site that helps support and make us aware of World Autism Awareness Day.
- Light It Up Blue, in its third year, is a unique global initiative to help raise awareness about the growing public health concern that is autism. Iconic landmarks around the world will Light It Up Blue to show their support.
There are really cool pictures of all the major landmarks that were “blue” for the night.
Although we missed it this year, I just wanted to give you a heads up, so that if you see it mentioned next year, you will know what it is!
Part comedian, part Dad, part athlete. He will boss around your children while they play ball.
Just as angelic as she looks, this girl could easily raise a Village by herself, and all the children would grow up to be President.
Self proclaimed, she would be a webkinz dog. Because, "they're cute, and puppies are too. And they're sweet and they always get along with other puppies."
This mini-Martha Stewart can handle ANY craft you send her way. She isn't all bows and rainbows, she's got karate kid moves!
Not "Pick-Me-Up" like caffeine, she wants you to pick her up! AND NOW!
Anything that can be destroyed WILL be destroyed!
Practically Perfect in Every Way for now! Nicknamed "The Panda" she is rolly polly and lives by the motto, "the little one, is KING!"
The resident Labradoodle, Miller got his name because Mom won and got to name the baby! Need something chewed up? He'll take care of it. Especially if it's expensive..
Thanks Tiffany for being a supporter! I personally wasn’t aware of how many people have an Autism Spectrum Disorder until about 7 years ago when our daughter was diagnosed with the higher functioning Autism Disorder called Asperger’s. There are so many who struggle in their families and at school. It is nice to see more awareness and education to not only help those suffering but to support and encourage their families as well! I had not heard of this Light it Up Blue before so thanks for letting everyone know!
Hi Tiffany,
My son has Down Syndrome and Autism. I write a blog about life with a child with challenges (we have 5 kids total). I addressed the subject of World Autism Day a couple of days ago. Awareness is great, but there are many families struggling on a daily basis just to survive…it’s my hope to share ways to HELP, as opposed to just being aware.
If you care to see some of the ways to bless a family living with a child on the spectrum, check out my most recent post. Thanks!
Sandy
