We are reaching out to multiple counties and states to help proclaim April the Autism Awareness month. We are also encouraging businesses and governments to choose a Wear Blue Day. We have received multiple acknowledgements and participations in Maryland. AFYI is thrilled that much of Maryland is sensitive, supportive, and anxious to participate to bring more awareness to the Autism Community and how our communities can level the ground for them through training, acceptance, and community action. If you want to participate in Wear Blue Day or want your city or county or State to participate, please email me at Joy@autismfyi.org. Follow this link to see the proclamations .
