autism-the color blue

Last Wednesday, the color blue was spread cheerfully throughout a learning center in Brick township. The color blue — along with a puzzle piece — represents the international symbol for autism. The color blue was not only shown through this learning center, but through schools and hospitals through the world-events took place with the primary purpose of raising autism awareness. This day was to show that everyone is different and equal in their own way. Children throughout their community got together worked and played together — such as constructing puzzles and listening to book readings.The puzzle pieces represents everyone working together. I think that this is an excellent idea. My mother, who is a teachers aid for kids with autism says that it is a very rewarding job. She always comes home knowing that she has helped the lives of the children and their families.
