Today, over 70 million children and adults are affected by autism. Each of them, have unique strengths, challenges, and potential. Kayde was diagnosed on September 6th, 2023. With or without the diagnosis, Kayde continues to amaze us everyday. He finds his own modes of communication and is always the happiest kid in the room. 

It’s only through dedicated support that Autism Speaks can continue their vital mission work. Each year, the Autism Speaks Autism Response Team makes direct contact with tens of thousands of individuals looking for advice or guidance and more than one million people access their free nationwide autism services and resources. They continue to partner and support research to improve the lives of people with autism by investing in science that will allow more personalized treatments and therapies.
