Purple light bulbs are sweeping Springfield for Autism awareness

Purple bulbs are shining a light on autism this month across Springfield. "Autism is a neurological disability,” said Amanda Brott, the Chief Operating Officer for Springfield’s Hope Program. She said autism impairs someone's communication and interaction skills. Now, Brott is trying to build a greater understanding. TAP is giving out free purple bulbs throughout the Autism Awareness Month, to homes and businesses like Orange theory fitness.
