Light It Up Blue

What Is It?

Blue is associated with United Nations World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD). Whilst a colour alone cannot represent the lived experiences, faced by Autistic People, the tradition helps raise awareness.

​

WAAD 2026 includes a unified ‘Light It Up Blue’ being coordinated across China. 

Thursday 2nd April from 8 pm – 9 pm

Hong Kong SAR and across all of China
