The Washington, DC Walk is just one week away. But with your support, one week can make a lifetime of difference for a person with autism. Right now, 1 in 44 children is affected by autism. Each of them has unique strengths, challenges and potential. Autism Speaks will be there for them. You can be too.

Your generosity is vital to ensuring their access to invaluable information, resources, programs and direct assistance. In fact, it's only through the dedicated support of people like you that we can continue in our commitment to increase early childhood screenings and interventions, improve the transition to adulthood, accelerate life-enhancing breakthroughs in autism research, and increase global understanding and acceptance.

Our vision is a world where all people with autism can reach their full potential — but it can't happen without you.
