Yesterday, Tuesday, was International Autism Awareness Day and
Calasparra Town Hall signaled its support and solidarity by turning the facade
blue with special lighting effects.
Autism affects some 450,000 people in Spain and is widely misunderstood.
This year Spain approved its first national strategy for autism.
Autism is a developmental
disorder of variable severity that is characterized by difficulty in social
interaction and communication and by restricted or repetitive patterns of
thought and behaviour.
