Give the Gift of Hope

The past year and a half has brought on unexpected challenges and obstacles for all of us in so many ways. Despite these challenges, the American Autism Association has stayed true to our promise and mission — to better the lives of people with autism and their families by providing accessible and valuable resources and learning opportunities.

Last year, we celebrated our 10 year anniversary, and we established our goals for the next decade. Although the beginning of this new decade has brought adversities, we have still found ways to attain our goals. We have hosted a number of virtual workshops that have each served as a helpful educational resource to many, as well as safely hosting our first in-person event since 2019, our Ballet for All Kids Clinic. As the world around us faces a time of uncertainty, we are certain about one thing — that we will continue to support and advocate for people affected by autism in every way that we can.

We invite supporters, friends, and partners to help us bring positive change to the lives of people with autism and their families by enabling us to continue to provide impactful resources and educational opportunities.
