Advocacy priorities
Autism Speaks influences policy at the state and federal government levels. To do this, we work with Congress, the White House, state legislators, agencies, and regulators.
See our advocacy priorities![Autism Speaks Walkers holding a team sign](/sites/default/files/styles/campaign/public/Autism_Speaks_Chicago_111.jpg.webp?itok=4GHkd0vC)
Together, we are creating a world where all people with autism can reach their full potential.
The Autism Speaks Walk brings together people with autism and the parents, grandparents, siblings, friends, relatives and providers in a network of friendship and support. Funds raised help fuel innovative research, advocacy, and critical programs and services.
