Moving on to the blue porch light that piqued my interest. The most common reason for using a blue porch light is to support autism awareness. ASD is a developmental disorder that impacts many people and families, and blue has been chosen as the color for autism awareness. The organization Autism Speaks employs the blue light for its “Light It Up Blue” campaign, mainly on the 2nd of April which is the World Autism Awareness Day and for the whole month of April, which is the Autism Awareness Month.
However, that is not the only meaning of a blue porch light. It can also be used to support the police force. The blue light symbolizes support and unity with the police force, the individuals who work to safeguard society. It is a means of appreciating them more so during events such as National Police Week.
