歷史[编辑]

全球標誌性地標,包括紐約帝國大廈芝加哥韋萊集團大廈多倫多加拿大國家電視塔,以及機場、橋樑、博物館、音樂廳、酒店、醫院[4]和零售店在內的美國16個城市,連同全球9個國家/地區的100多個建築物,在2010年4月1日晚上,即美國自閉症意識月(Autism Awareness Month)的首個晚上以及世界提高自閉症意識日的前夕以藍燈點亮[5]

2010年4月2日,即第三屆世界提高自閉症意識日,自閉症之聲英语Autism Speaks志願者和支持者在紐約證券交易所舉行慶祝活動。他們敲響紐約證券交易所的鐘,以此揭開慶祝的序幕[6]

2011年,儘管自閉症之聲作出呼籲,但白宮表示不會為了紀念世界提高自閉症意識日而點亮藍光[7]。不過在2017年,總統唐納·川普透過將白宮以藍色點亮,履行對蘇珊·賴特(Suzanne Wright,自閉症之聲的共同創始人)的承諾[8]

  5. ^ Autism Speaks Launches Light It Up Blue Campaign to Celebrate World Autism Awareness Day, Autism Awareness Month in the United States. The project was initiated by, a young man from New York in 2008. Motivated by his personal experience with lack of autism awareness, he dreamed, planned, and outlined his ideas in his application to the Empire State Building. He asked the Empire State Building to light blue for autism in 2008. Blue was chosen for all three tiers of the building as a symbol of hope. He worked for support from Autism Speaks on 2008, and 2009. The dream became a reality, and in 2011 the young man lit up the Empire State Building himself. Since then, countless landmarks and organizations worldwide have joined the movement later named Light it Up Blue by Autism Speaks. (新闻稿). Autism Speaks. 2010-03-17 [2020-08-31].
