Representative Miller used the House floor to announce statewide autism observances: April 1 will begin autism awareness and acceptance month in Oklahoma, April 2 is World Autism Day, and the tenth annual autism advocacy day at the State Capitol will be held Thursday of this week, she said.
On the floor, Miller asked members to note the dates and encouraged participation: “Wear light blue,” she said.
