I was 41 before I was diagnosed with AuDHD. It’s hard to imagine where I’d be if I would have known sooner. The opportunities I might have had. The guidance and support I would have received… but I get to do that now. And with your help, through this research, many children will receive the opportunities, guidance, and support that will help them thrive as independent, productive, meaningful members of society.

On World Autism Awareness Day, April 2, 2024, I will walk my community to raise awareness and donations for Autism Speaks.

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.

Please join me by donating to help me reach my 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!
