Hi John — I'll keep this quick.

Today is your LAST chance to claim the September triple matching gift offer. Until midnight, every gift is matched $2 for every dollar donated (up to $15,000). I'm asking directly: Will you make 3X the impact for the autism community and help more people on the spectrum reach their full potential?

The roles I am proudest of in my life are those of father and husband. Below you can see me with my incredible son, who is autistic, and who is the joy of our lives. I come to work at Autism Speaks every day fighting to make the world a more loving, accepting and fulfilling place for people like him.

Right now, students on the spectrum are back in classrooms. Autistic jobseekers are ready to excel and be included in meaningful work. And families in the autism community, like mine, are preparing for a busy fall and winter of favorite activities, new opportunities and hoping to access the care and support for their loved ones to thrive.

Autism Speaks is here to be a strong ally and support system for any family or individual who needs us. From our tailored support offered through the Autism Response Team, to connecting families with early diagnosis and intervention tools, to helping autistic young adults transition to adulthood — we are here to help.

Compassionate supporters like you, John, mean we can keep doing what we do best. Your generosity means more autistic people and their families can find the services and resources to live their best lives. But your chance for 3X the impact disappears at midnight tonight, so don't wait to see your gift TRIPLE-matched for the autism community.

Thank you for everything you do,

Keith Wargo
President & CEO
Autism Speaks
