Autism Awareness Day takes place every year on 2 April. To mark the date, many public buildings and monuments will be lit up in blue. By dressing in blue to the office, the staff at Maison Moderne, the company that publishes Delano and Paperjam, have shown their support for this cause.

2 April is traditionally a day for one cause: autism awareness. All UN member states are asked to create initiatives to mark the day. Here in the grand duchy, the Fondation Autisme Luxembourg has been the driving force behind this for years, through various actions.
