Meet Andres: A Brave 6-Year-Old on a Mission for Autism Awareness

Andres is not your average six-year-old. He’s a vibrant, curious, and determined little boy with autism who sees the world through a beautifully unique lens. Whether he’s lining up his favorite toys just right or lighting up when he hears his favorite song, Andres reminds everyone around him of the beauty in differences and the strength found in being exactly who you are.

This November 1st, Andres will once again be walking proudly at the Autism Speaks Walk, a tradition he has now been a part of for the past two years. Thanks to the incredible support and donations from friends, family, and the community, Andres has already helped make a meaningful impact — but this year, he’s dreaming even bigger.

He’s calling on you — his friends, loved ones, and even kind-hearted strangers — to join his team. Whether it’s walking beside him, donating a few dollars, or simply sharing his story, your support means the world to Andres and his family. Every step taken, every post shared, and every donation made brings us one step closer to understanding, acceptance, and breakthroughs that can change lives.

So let’s rally behind Andres. Let’s walk with him, celebrate his spirit, and show him just how loved and powerful he is.

Donate. Share. Attend.

Walk for Andres. Walk for autism.

November 1st – let’s make it unforgettable.
