On the heart of the I love Aruba landmark, a blue sticker stating "World Autistm Awareness Day" was placed in the early morning hours on Monday, April 2.
Ministers Michelle Hooyboer-Winklaar, Richard Visser and Prime Minister Mike Eman came out to share a moment with the Aruba Autism Foundation  members who were present to focus the community's attention on the importance of raising awareness for this condition and its characteristics.
At night the government offices, as well as the Willem III Tower were "lit up blue" for Autism Awareness.

A study conducted by investigators at Yale University examining the impact of proposed changes to the diagnostic criteria for ASD in the upcoming fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) suggests that if implemented, up to 40% of those with autism as defined by the current criteria would be excluded from such a diagnosis, raising concerns that a significant proportion of individuals may be excluded from medical and social services.
