Why should I participate in this Campaign? 

Black and Latino Children are diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum more than 2 years later than other children. One of the major reasons is due to lack of information in underrepresented 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 and the Omega Zeta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority found the need to increase awareness about Autism and Autism Spectrum traits to underrepresented areas. 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 spreading awareness.

Why are you using the "puzzle piece?" Does that mean you are affiliated with the 
Autism Speaks organization? 

 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, mutli-colored puzzle piece has become the international symbol of autism. Its significance has become multi-faceted.
