Hi John,

Sharing the stories of people impacted by autism and their loved ones helps build awareness and increase understanding. Throughout World Autism Month, we hope you will listen to the stories provided here each week - plus many more by visiting the Autism Speaks Instagram and liking, sharing or commenting.

Today, meet Seth and his mom, Muhsinah, who shares how the support of the Autism Speaks community helped her obtain guidance and resources for her son.

At Autism Speaks, we understand the value that each person and family brings to our community in terms of connectedness, belonging, mission and meaning. We offer many ways for autistic people and families to connect and share including, nationwide Walks that provide a local network of friendship and support, grassroots advocacy, closed Facebook groups, mission-based advisory councils, sharing social stories and more.

Together, we are creating a world where all people with autism have the community, support and resources they need to reach their full potential. We could not do it without you.

Our gratitude,
Your friends at Autism Speaks
