Don't put on that party hat yet, John. Before you begin your New Year's Eve festivities, remember that our amazing 4X gift match to help children with autism is ending tonight— very soon. Help unlock ALL of the $150,000 funds from The Lee Family Foundation to quadruple your gift by midnight. Together, we're halfway there, but these kids, teens and adults still need your generous help — very much.

John, your gift lifts up families and loved ones with autism by providing resources, support and life-enhancing research. It helps fund the work of doctors like Dr. David Beversdorf, who's researching the ways autistic people think differently. His team is exploring the many layers of autism, including lack of social interaction, stress, anxiety, gastrointestinal issues and so much more.

"We hope to bring about a new treatment approach that actually helps social interaction, a core aspect of ASD," says Dr. Beversdorf. He's also collaborating with other colleagues to look at the effects of anxiety and stress on gastrointestinal symptoms.

"This research is the tip of the iceberg."

Help more frontline heroes like Dr. Beversdorf fuel new advancements to enhance the quality of life for people on the spectrum. Your gift today will go 4X as far in transforming lives.

Will you join the Autism Speaks family with a gift today? John, for the next few hours only, your gift will accomplish 4X more to help autistic children and adults fulfill their potential.

P.S. If you've already made a gift, we are truly grateful and we are updating our records now. But if you haven't had a chance, time is running out to make 4X the impact.
