Hi my name is Mason.I'm 5 years old  and I was diagnosed with Autism at the age of 4. I'm verbal but at times I prefer to use verbal and non-verbal ways to communicate socially with others. I love books,puzzles, toys, cars, and airplanes.I love watching my favorite movies with my family. I also love to build things. I collect legos and cars.I love to sing and dance to my favorite songs. I'm very affectionate, and have very sharp senses. 

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.
