World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD) and “Light It Up Blue” [10/04/2013]
On the occasion of World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD) on 2nd April 2013, Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, National Trust for the welfare of persons with Autism and other developmental disabilities and Archaelogical Survey of India are collectively organising lighting of six historical monuments in Delhi vis a vis Qutab Minar, Humayun’s Tomb, Safdarjung Tomb, Jantar Mantar, Purana Quila and Red Fort with Blue Light.
“Light It Up Blue” is dedicated to raising awareness of autism. This initiative is intended to raise awareness of autism as a growing public health crisis.
Autism is a Neuro-physiological disorder which affects the social and emotional areas of the brain. It affects as many as 1 in 110 children and 1 in 70 boys. Boys are four times more likely than girls to have autism. There is no medical cure for autism, but early diagnosis and intervention helps a person to adapt and function better.
National Trust is organising a function at Humayun’s Tomb on the day whose highlights will be release of Book Why Me?-An Inward Odyssey by Mr Krishna Narayanan, a person with Autism and release of song “Alag Hi Asha” composed and sung by Vintage Taan Group.
