Progress in Motion

Every day, countless individuals and families navigate the unique challenges and triumphs that come with autism. Each story is different, but all share a common thread of strength, potential, and the need for understanding, services, and support.

Autism Speaks is leading the way in providing critical resources, advocacy, and research to improve the lives of those with autism through programs like the Autism Response Team, which provides connection to essential services for thousands of individuals seeking information. The funds we raise together will fuel vital programs like this and many others, while helping to expand access to personalized support and innovative solutions that will make a real difference.

Your participation in the Empower Summit & Challenge means we can continue to stand alongside those living with autism and their families. Together, we can drive change and create a more inclusive world.
