Danbury is joining the Autism Awareness Movement in a safe virtual online event for Autism Awareness and Acceptance Day. Danbury will commemorate today with a virtual flag-raising ceremony at 5 PM via a Facebook livestream. It will feature speakers, recognition of two Danbury special needs professionals, and a presentation of an Autism Awareness flag to the City to be flown during the month of April - National Autism Awareness Month.  The event's goal is to spread awareness of early diagnosis and promote acceptance for all individuals and families affected by autism.  Mayor Joe Cavo will make presentations to Kristen Hatcher Fontaine and Alicia Erohand for their efforts in creating the sensory wall project at Pembroke Elementary School. https://www.facebook.com/events/1331487027231857
