At Autism Speaks, our vision is to create a kinder, more inclusive
world where all people with autism, across the spectrum and throughout
the life span, can reach their full potential. In preparation for World
Kindness Day on November 13, we're sharing acts of kindness in the autism
community that have touched our hearts and helped pave the way to
realize our vision.
In this edition of E-Speaks, you'll hear inspirational stories
of small acts of kindness that created community and positively
impacted the lives of people with autism. You'll also gain
access to a bounty of kindness-themed resources and much more!
