John:
The Autism Speaks Walk is our biggest community fundraiser and plays a vital role in funding our mission work. Your support is more urgent than ever before.
The reality is that autism impacts 1 in 36 children under 8 years of age in the U.S. and 1 in 45 adults, making autism a major public health concern. And unfortunately, despite the work we're doing, autism is also a major social concern.
Too many do not have access to the critical care they need. Too many cannot find employment although ready and willing to work. Too many suffer from depression and isolation. Too many feel devalued when the reality is ... they work many times harder to achieve the things neurotypical people take for granted.
We can, and we must do better. But we can't do it alone. Make this year our best ever. Let the autism community know you care. Join us for the DC Walk!
