Light It Up Blue – Sydney Opera House Lit Blue

Well, Sydney Opera House looked bloody marvellous last night.  Maybe it should stay blue all year!

Autism Awareness crowdfunded the $40,000 needed to light the Opera House a real, vibrant blue, and I’m very proud to say that our family donated.

My pal Nicole Rogerson is the founder of Autism Awareness and a tireless campaigner for the rights of people with an autism spectrum disorder.

My how things have changed – for the better – since we met up at a parent support group 13 years ago.

Well done the entire team, and all the lovely people who supported this excellent cause.

Many, many buildings were lit up blue around the world.  How marvellous.

My GiantTeen16 and I were there to see it, thrilled to be with great friends including the dynamic duo of Benison O’Reilly and Kathryn Wicks whose new edition of the Australian Autism Handbook has just been published.

Well done those hard working and talented writers.

 Can I recommend Kathryn Wick’s article in Tuesday’s Sydney Morning Herald: Why O’Farrell Needs To See The Blue Light

Thank you to Elizabeth Sarian of Autism Awareness for letting me showcase these magnificent photos.

I couldn’t be prouder of my son, our family, of Autism Awareness and of my gorgeous friends.

Nor of our glorious city of Sydney, and that spectacular Opera House, the first of many buildings that were lit up blue for World Autism Awareness Day.

The Opera House reflected our pride, and our passion too.
