We turned blue today too!
Although blueá is goodá in allá circumstances, today Iá much moreá iná than on otherá days. Today, the colour blue is a symbol of support for autism. Itásá stronglyá that many peopleá stillá doá not&aware&of&the&importance&of&autistic&disorders. Therefore, even though the colour of theá is the colour of the rubá i.e. redá, we decided to becomeá partá of theá goodá thing and put on blueá as one man.
Why blueá? Blueá is the color of communication and self-expressioná which is one of the areasá in which peopleá with autismá spectrum disorder have the greatestá need. The national campaign called Light up Blue, which was launched on the occasion of World Autism Awareness Day, is coordinated by the Hope for Autism Platform.
Autisticá disorder is one of the most important&scaroná mentalá disorders in theý age of theý child. It is a congenital disorder of some of the brain's functions, the consequence of which is that the child does not understand what he or she sees, hears and experiences. Most clearly, the communication, socialáln´ interaction and imagination of these peopleá is disrupted. Autisticé disorders are accompanied by specificý behaviouralé patterns, whiché are sometimes mistaken for rudeness, defiance, etc.
In Czech country about 100 thousand people suffer from autism, in the world 70 million people . Help for children with autism disorder is quite common, but adults do not get it to aacute degree. These are also the reasons why today we are reminded of the importance of this disorder today.
