Wearing Blue for Autism April 2, 2011

What better day to blog about autism than National Autism Day? And what better day to wear blue to show your support of those affected by this horrible epidemic?

My little man is nine. Just turned nine, in fact. And the whole family is wearing blue for him today. In fact, so is our facebook community of friends and family.

But we’re not stopping there. We’ve got blue Christmas lights hanging…no, these are newly hung.  (I may be late to take down the tree, but I’m not a redneck who keeps the Christmas lights on all year!)

We should all try to raise awareness this month since, sadly, its the only 15 minutes of fame we get each year. Let’s all make the most of it.

We feel blue all year.Let’s wear blue this month. Surround ourselves with it. Wear bracelets, get car magnets. Blue for all our little boys (and for our girls!).

I’ve been quiet in here, but I’m back. And I have amazing stories to share, so come back again.

Today is a new day.
