After my son was diagnosed with autism in 2023, I began walking this journey alongside other parents of children with ASD, advocating for greater understanding and awareness of what autism truly is. Support and resources are essential for individuals with autism, and as parents, we are committed to creating a future where everyone has access to the help they need. The change starts with us, and we must take action today.

Today, over 70 million children and adults are affected by autism, each with their own unique strengths, challenges, and potential. Autism Speaks is here for them, and together, you and I can be too.

Through the continued support of people like Autism Speaks can further their mission. Every year, their Autism Response Team reaches tens of thousands of individuals seeking advice or guidance, while more than one million people access their nationwide autism services and resources. They are also making strides in research, investing in science to enable more personalized treatments and therapies to improve the lives of people with autism. You can learn more about where your donations go by visiting autismspeaks.org/our-work.

Please consider donating to help me reach my fundraising goal. Together, we can enhance the lives of those with autism and make a meaningful difference.

Thank you so much for your support!
