It’s World Autism Awareness Day and we couldn’t be more excited to announce our 2X match from a generous donor up to a total of $100,000. This is an exciting time for Autism Speaks and all people with autism because this is a day of spreading acceptance, inclusiveness and kindness. Join in to hear the vibrant voices of autism tell their stories.

Watch Maddy tell her story.

Now, your gift DOUBLES to help people with autism like Maddy K. As a star on her varsity basketball team, she’s living her life full of potential. "Everybody’s different. So I feel like I’m just different – [autism] is just a different perspective on how people see things," Maddy says.

John, help us make the most of our 2X match with a gift today and join us to share your hope for a more inclusive and accepting world.

Your support means we can spread awareness, kindness and information. Your gift helps families get free access to a wide range of resources from helping young teens transition to adulthood with life skills to our 100 Day Tool Kit that helps families make the best possible use of the first 100 days following their child’s diagnosis.

Please make a gift today that goes 2X as far to help people with autism reach their full potential.
