Autism & April

April is Autism Awareness Month. As most of you know, my son has Autism - so naturally, this cause is close to my heart. How can you help? Easy.



ILLUMINATE: Change out your outdoor lighting to blue bulbs. Wear blue clothes. Paint your nails. Tweet using the #LIUB hashtag. Change your facebook banner and photo. Get creative.

DONATE: Text AUTISM to 25383 to donate $10 to Autism Speaks. Visit www.lightitupblue.org and click "donate." Set up a fundraiser.

ADVOCATE: Sign the petition at www.lightitupblue.org. Educate those who ask about the puzzle pieces, the blue light bulbs and all your blue clothes this month.

If you need help, have questions or whatnot ... please feel free to ask me! If you see someone in blue, rocking puzzle pieces and glowing blue porch lights? Ask them. And thank you.
