World Kindness Day isn’t over yet!

John: Yesterday, on World Kindness Day, thousands of people came together to stand with the autism community. I was deeply moved by the outpouring of compassion from this incredible community—and I wasn’t the only one.

Thanks to that overwhelming generosity, our matching gift partner has agreed to EXTEND your 2X MATCH for ONE MORE DAY. Give before MIDNIGHT to DOUBLE your support for a kinder world!

As a dad to my autistic son, AJ, I’ve seen firsthand how kindness can open doors. From early therapies and school supports to navigating adulthood and employment, every step of our family’s journey has been shaped by people who care. That’s the same spirit that drives Autism Speaks’ work every day.

From early childhood screenings and interventions to ensuring reliable, trusted lifelong resources and support, we’re committed to empowering children, teens, and adults with autism, as well as their families, loved ones, and caregivers.

Caring people like you, John, make this work possible, which is why I hope you’ll take advantage of this opportunity to DOUBLE your next gift. Please, if you haven’t yet, make your World Kindness Day gift before midnight tonight. Every dollar will be matched 2X to help build a kinder world for all.

Together, we’re breaking down stigma, building understanding, and helping people on the spectrum reach their full potential. This is how we Redefine Possible—and it starts with you.

With gratitude,

Keith Wargo
President & CEO
Autism Speaks

P.S. From AJ and families like ours—thank you. Your kindness helps Autism Speaks deliver hope, resources, and opportunities that truly redefine what’s possible for the autism community. Please give by midnight while your gift still goes twice as far. >>
