Danbury City Hall to light up blue for autism awareness

For the second consecutive year, Danbury will join the autism awareness movement.  Danbury City Hall will light up blue at 7pm to shine a light on autism in honor of World Autism Month. 

 

The Ceremony will be a sensory friendly event featuring a lower sound level, welcoming attendees in the spectrum to talk and walk around. The audience will be asked not to clap, and there will be a designated quiet area. 

 

The Light Up ceremony is organized by Board of Education member Emanuela Palmares, with the support of the Commission for Persons with DisAbilities.  Palmares says Autism affects 1 in 68 children, including her 5-year-old son, who was diagnosed at age 2.
