When we got Carsen’s diagnosis we were overwhelmed with emotions and what to do next. We did a lot of research (still are) to navigate our way to find the best care for him. Carsen has come so far with learning how to communicate his emotions, wants and needs. It’s support like Autism Speaks provides that help us help him. Providing our community information to help children like Carsen excel in this world is something that is so important to me. Please join us in supporting Carsen and other children like him.

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.

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!
