Today, over 70 million children and adults are affected by autism. Each of them, have unique strengths, challenges and potential. Autism Speaks will be there for them. You and I can be too.

It’s only through the dedicated support of people like us 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. You can find out even more about where your fundraising dollars go at autismspeaks.org/our-work.


It’s been 18 months since we got the news of our child having ASD. I know it wasn’t the end and it was just the beginning, being 9 months pregnant and getting the news over a zoom call was one of the hardest most painful experiences. I knew it was not going to change the love for our child but I knew it was not going to be easy. Everyday we are researching and learning to find more ways to help him and others. We are in this together and we are Team Carter Strong! 

This will be our second year doing this! 

Please join me by donating to help me reach our fundraising goal. Together, we have the power to enhance the lives of people with autism and make a meaningful difference. Thanks so much for your support!
