April is National Autism Awareness Month and April 2nd and World Autism Awareness Day. Is your library doing anything to promote these events? A book display? Lighting it up blue? An event?
We’re going a bit low-key this year… I’m putting a post at our website and Facebook page linking to our library’s autism resources.
If your library is doing something, please share!

It’s that time of year again! April is Autism Awareness Month and World Autism Awareness Day is April 2nd.
This would be a great time to reach out to your local community by making a display, having a speaker, doing a special storytime, or putting information on your library website.
If you plan on doing something for Autism Awareness Month and/or Day, please post a comment so we can all learn how and share ideas. Thanks!

Autism Awareness Day at the Statehouse in Boston
Tuesday, April 13, 2010, 9:00 AM
Great Hall at the State House
This year’s theme is “Awash in Autism: Ask Me About 1 in 110.” ( “1 in 110” refers to the CDC’s most recent statistics about ASD incidences.) The program will consist of various presentations including that of Advocates for Autism of Massachusetts who will share information about their work including insurance coverage for autism, updates from government officials, and awards for those who have made significant contributions to the ASD community. Following the presentation there will be time to visit with legislators.

I’m sure you need no reminder but April is Autism Awareness Month and April 2nd is World Autism Awareness Day. Check out http://www.autism-society.org/site/PageServer?pagename=research_awareness for ways to promote autism awareness.
