light it up red

A slogan that supports autistic people to freely express themselves. This goes in contrast to "light it up blue" which only promotes the awareness of autism, even though almost everyone has at least heard of autism by now. "light it up red" however, promotes respect and acceptance towards autistic individuals and is a more meaningful way to promote the autistic community.
Red is the color of love, ambition, and respect. Blue is the color of disappointment and depression. Lets light it up red instead to let everyone know that the autistic community is capable of understanding and respect.
