When our 19 year old identical twin sons were diagnosed with Autism in 2007. I recall the fear, the worry, and the questions my wife and I had in those first days, weeks and months to follow.
There was a lot of confusing and conflicting information on the internet. Some encouraging but much of it very negative and depressing. One of the sites that was very helpful was the Autism Speaks website.
We decided to get involved with AutismSpeaks and their Walks to raise money to fund research, to fund outreach and to fund understanding.
When our 12 year old son was diagnosed with Autism in 2014, we had the information and community to help us navigate our way. So we Walk to fund programs that help families new to the diagnosis as well as families who have experienced this for much longer find information and community. It also helps to fund scientific research into causes as well as treatments and therapies.
We hope that you will continue to support our team and these worthy endeavors.
