Light it up BLUE

During the whole month of April, our hôtel de ville (city hall) is lit up in blue. in fact, April is dedicated to getting people's awareness for autism, and their hallmark is "light it up BLUE". Our city is one of a few cities in Luxembourg to participate, otherwise it's mostly bigger companies who joined into the movement.

"Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a range of complex neurodevelopment disorders, characterized by social impairments, communication difficulties, and restricted, repetitive, and stereotyped patterns of behavior. Autistic disorder ... is the most severe form , while other conditions along the spectrum include a milder form known as Asperger syndrome, and childhood disintegrative disorder and pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified" (http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/autism/detail_autism.htm)
