Arric's Minions
Join our team in raising funds to have a voice with legislators, to have access to the information and resources we need, to support research and medical discovery, and to help fund local services through the mission of Autism Speaks. Together, we can accomplish amazing things for people living with autism. Join the team and begin your fundraising journey today! Set your individual goal at $150 and you’ll be eligible for a Walk Tee Shirt – which, by the way, was purchased from a business that employs people with autism.
My son Arric (3) was diagnosed with Autism about 4 monts ago. It has been a struggle, but we learn and grow together as a family. When people ask me how I reacted to the news, I at first was ashamed to say that I cried. Yes, I cried, not because I am sad my son has autism. I cried because finally we had answers, and resoures to help Arric succeed in life. I no longer felt like I was crazy, or I had been doing something wrong with my parenting. Arric's Autism does not define him as a person. He defines autism by not letting him stop him in life. He is a happy, fun, smart, loving boy and no diagnoses will take that from him. It is because of organizations like Autism Speak that help us, help him succeed in life. If you can not donate, spread the word. Come walk wiht ud for Arric and be apart of something bigger.
