Today, over 70 million children and adults are affected by autism.

Each one of them has unique strengths, challenges, and incredible potential. Autism Speaks is there to support them—and with your help, we can be too.

In 2023, we learned that our amazing boy, Danny, is Autistic. Like any family, we had many questions and concerns at first. Danny is non-verbal, but that has never stopped him from teaching us about life, love, and joy.

Danny has a special gift for figuring out technology. He loves his people deeply, cherishes snuggles, hugs, and laughter—and he also enjoys time doing his own thing. His heart is as big as his smile.

We would be so honored if you supported us and joined our team on this walk/run. Together, we walk for Danny—and for all the incredible individuals and families in the autism community.

It’s only through the dedicated support of people like you that Autism Speaks can continue its vital mission. Each year, the Autism Response Team connects directly with tens of thousands of individuals seeking advice or guidance, while more than one million people access their free, nationwide autism services and resources. They also continue to partner in research to improve the lives of people with autism by investing in science that leads to more personalized treatments and therapies.
