The first Dysautonomia Awareness Month was launched in October, 2012 by Dysautonomia International. Since then, more than 1,250 awareness activities have taken place all over the world. The color turquoise has been attributed to the month, and so one way that a lot of people show their support for dysautonomia is by wearing a turquoise ribbon on their clothing throughout October. This is also a great way to raise awareness because you can be sure that a lot of people will ask you why you are wearing such a ribbon, and this will give you the opportunity to explain that it is to raise awareness for dysautonomia and why this is important.
