Dear John,

First, I want to share my sincere hope that you and your loved ones
are staying safe and healthy. As we continue to monitor the evolving
situation related to COVID-19, our top priority remains the health and
safety of our constituents, our community and our employees. While
we're adapting to new ways of working during this challenging
moment, our team is fully operational and committed to working
together to support the autism community and fulfill our mission.

The autism community needs this commitment to our mission now,
perhaps more than ever. Many people with autism and their families are
being directly impacted, seeing disruptions in services and coping
with the uncertainty of what comes next. The support of our
entire community is crucial during these trying times - enabling
us to reach individuals and families with the resources they
need. 

That's why I want to share a few updates with you on how we are
working to provide resources to our families:

We have created a centralized hub for resources to weather this
storm together.

COVID-19 Information and Resources: [link removed]

This page will be updated regularly as new content is
developed. In addition, the Autism Response Team remains a resource for all families in our community. As they receive specific inquiries and requests, we are listening, learning and adapting in real time to make information and content available. On this hub, families can find:

Coming soon: We are working on a series of videos answering questions and providing tips to help families work through common challenges. These will be posted to the COVID-19 resource hub and our YouTube channel as they're available, and shared on our social channels. We encourage you to find @autismspeaks on Facebook and Instagram for regular updates.

We'll continue to update you as new resources are made
available, and we welcome your feedback on what would be most helpful
to you and your families. Please reach out to us
at [email protected] at any time.

Finally, just over a month ago, we launched our campaign to create a
kinder world, not knowing what challenges were ahead of us. As we work
through this difficult moment together, this message feels as relevant
as ever. I hope that amidst the stress and uncertainty of these times,
we can all find ways to show kindness and compassion to one another.
Please know we are sending you our best wishes for you your health and
safety.

With kindness, gratitude and hope,
Angela Geiger
