Hi John,

Throughout World Autism Month, we will help increase understanding and acceptance by sharing stories of autistic people and their families.

Meet Eileen and Charlie, a young mom and her son whose journey led to a diagnosis of autism for each of them, a new awareness of what autism is and a fierce advocacy for children and adults on the spectrum.

For people like Eileen and Charlie and the millions more on the spectrum, Autism Speaks is committed to creating a world where all people with autism can reach their full potential. When Eileen had concerns about Charlie's development, she accessed the M-CHAT autism screening questionnaire on our website, which ultimately helped lead to his diagnosis. If you or someone you know is in need of assistance or has questions about autism, contact our Autism Response Team for free guidance, referrals and support. We're here to help.

Thank you for your support during World Autism Month and all year long.

With deepest gratitude,
Your friends at Autism Speaks
