As a friend of the autism community, hearing that anyone is being bullied is especially hard. But the reality is that for kids and adults with autism and other disabilities, bullying is far too common. Studies show that more than 60 percent of autistic children and adults have experienced bullying at some point in their lives — kids like 12-year-old Noah who do not understand why.

Together, we can and must change this statistic. With your support, we continue to increase understanding and acceptance of people with autism and work to create a more inclusive and autism-friendly world. With just one act of kindness and generosity, YOU can build a better future for children like Noah. A future where every child and adult with autism, has the support and resources they need.
