Autism Speaks is dedicated to promoting solutions, across the spectrum and throughout the life span, for the needs of individuals with autism and their families.

They do this through advocacy and support; increasing understanding and acceptance of people with autism; and advancing research into causes and better interventions for autism spectrum disorder and related conditions.

​

Employment is also a huge focus for Autism Speaks. National data shows that most autistic adults are unemployed or underemployed, despite having the skill sets and expertise to excel in the workplace. Through our partnership, we aim for inclusion and acceptance in the employment process and look to increase employment opportunities for autistic employees and create a more diverse and inclusive workforce.

​

85 cents of every dollar raised goes back towards their mission which includes the above as well as free resources, advocating for health coverage/benefits across the country, and grants to local service providers, camps and health institutions.
