Today, over 70 million children and adults are affected by autism. I am one of them. Each of us, have unique strengths, challenges and potential. Autism Speaks is a HUGE support system. 

So, why did I choose the team name #OnTheSpectrumWithGrace? First, my middle name is Grace :). I chose to go with my middle name because I have chosen to take the stride of each of my diagnoses with grace. From time to time I can struggle with tics so the name Grace is rather ironic. I have autism, OCD, and anxiety..each with pride, so let’s WALK with pride :). My team represents love, light, and neurodivergence #OnTheSpectrumWithGrace 

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. You can find out even more about where your fundraising dollars go at autismspeaks.org/our-work.

Together, we have the power to enhance the lives of individuals with autism and make a meaningful difference. Thanks so much for your loving support!
