Today, at 20:00 the National Opera and Ballet Theatre in Yerevan was illuminated by the rays of blue spotlights in the framework of the «Light It Up Blue», which started in 2010, and is dedicated to the problem of autism.  Today, April 2 is the World day for autism awareness and Yerevan has joined the international campaign.

From 2010 blue light, symbolizing the fact that autism is more common in boys, also illuminates the Empire State Building in New York City and the CN Tower in Toronto, Canada, and several other buildings in major cities of the world.
