John, some people with autism may not communicate using words, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have something to say. There are so many ways to connect and communicate, and a little understanding can make all the difference.

As part of our mission, we work every day to increase understanding and acceptance for people with autism of all levels of need and at every stage of life. Your support, through generous donations and by sharing these stories with the world, is crucial to helping ensure all autistic people can reach their full potential. And today, that support goes twice as far thanks to a generous donor’s anonymous matching gift, up to $125,000.

Please consider giving the gift of understanding in support of the millions of people with autism, including those who may communicate differently. Your donation will now have twice the impact, helping so many find the resources they need. We are so grateful to have you in our corner as we strive to achieve our vision.

With sincere thanks,

Val Paradiz, Ph.D.
