As people across the globe marked World Autism Awareness Day today, Barbadians were not left out. Blue was the hue of the day as individuals wore the colour designated for autism. This evening, members of the Autism Association of Barbados and representatives of both the House of Assembly and Senate converged at the Parliament Buildings which were lit up in the colour which is also associated with calmness and acceptance. Family members Nadia, Aidan, and Robert Simmons were among those in attendance for the lighting up.
