Exciting news, John: Until midnight tonight, an anonymous donor is TRIPLE-MATCHING all donations up to $100,000 during our World Autism Month Flash Match! Get the 3X match right now →

World Autism Month is all about shining a spotlight on the individuals in the autism community who inspire and challenge us with their courage and fearless dedication to achieving their dreams. Autism warriors who are breaking down barriers and showing others that it's someone's abilities and their character that count — people like Tyler, who you see above.

Tyler, who was diagnosed with autism at age two, is reaching new heights every day. He is a student at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. He is an employee at a local recreation and wellness center. He is a fierce basketball player, a faithful friend to everyone and a passionate advocate for other people with autism.

Most importantly, Tyler is just Tyler — an amazing person with a big heart who, thanks to the support of his family, community and Autism Speaks, can reach his full potential.

Until MIDNIGHT, your gift will be matched $3 for every $1, John! Donate to our 3X Flash Match and your generosity will support 3X the life-changing services, supports and resources for people on the spectrum like Tyler:

Thank you for making a true difference this World Autism Month.
