The Monday 2nd April is World Autism Awareness Day. In Melbourne, Australia a large number of Adult Fans of Lego (AFOLs), parents and children with autism are coming together on the Sunday before to celebrate and raise awareness about Autism and Aspergers Syndrome using Lego.
The ASD Aid organisation, which is committed to supporting the autism community through Lego, has organized the event which is being held at beautiful surrounds of the artistic community at the Abbottsford Convent. Together all participants will build a giant Lego version of the autism awareness ribbon (see below).
You can get all the details over at the GeekDad Community Site. If you are in Melbourne, it will be a great way to spend a Sunday with your kids. And if you like, bring along your red, yellow and blue bricks to donate to the build and make the biggest Lego ribbon ever.
