0:00Irondale, Alabama is stepping up big for Autism Awareness Month this April. City Hall in the library are glowing in those signature blue and puzzle piece colors to spotlight the cause. Mayor James D. Stewart, Jr. plans to drop a formal proclamation at the City Council meeting on Tuesday, April 7. Police cars are rolling out wrapped in vibrant puzzle designs stamped with Autism Awareness right under the Irondale Police logo. It's a move straight from the mayor's vision to make sure support is visible on every patrol. These wraps aren't just eye candy. They're a loud call for inclusion and understanding, reminding folks that every person and family counts. The department says it's about carrying that message of support through the streets daily. On the agenda for that same council meeting, they're pushing resolutions to donate $5,000 to studio by the tracks and 2005. $100 to Glenwood, both spots provide key services for local folks living with Autism. All this lines up to make April a real beacon of awareness in Irondale, pushing community backing where it hits home hardest.
