The team name and mascot, Spikey, was created by Kyian. It is a character from a cartoon series he created. We decided to use this to show how incredibly talented people with autism are and to encourage others that a diagnosis doesn’t define you. 

It’s only through the dedicated support of people like us that Autism Speaks can continue their vital mission work. You can find out more about where your fundraising dollars will go at autismspeaks.org/our-work.

The 2026 Autism Walk will be March 29, 2026 at the Miami Zoo. Please join our team and/or donate today, because together, we are stronger.

Thank you for your support!!
