Why should I participate in this Campaign?

Children in the Black/Latinx communities are diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum more than 2 years later than white children. Girls of all ethnicities could be diagnosed even later. In addition to the bias that has been incorporated in the education system, a major reason for this is lack of information in underserved communities. An informed community will aid in not only increasing awareness, the awareness will aid in an increase in assessments and diagnoses.

Why are you doing the #RoyalBlueForAutismAwareness Campaign?
​

The Mocha Autism Network found the need to not only increase awareness about Autism and Autism Spectrum traits in underrepresented areas, but to create more inclusive communities. This campaign was birthed from that goal.

Do I have to support the campaign on ALL platforms?

Absolutely not! You can participate where you can.

Are organizations the only groups eligible to register?

Absolutely not!!! Anyone can participate in the campaign.
 
Why is the Puzzle Piece used? Isn’t that only reserved for specific organizations?

The puzzle piece logo was first created in 1963 by the National Autistic Society. They explain “the symbol of the Society should be the puzzle as this did not look like any other commercial or charitable one as far as they could discover.” Since then, the interlocking, multi-colored puzzle piece has become the international symbol of autism. Its significance has become multi-faceted.
