Thank You for Celebrating World Autism Month!
Together, we celebrated the millions of people on the autism spectrum, their families, teachers, friends, and the wider community that helps empower them every day.
We are so grateful for your words of encouragement, your pledges for support and your drive to empower people with autism. It truly makes a difference. None of the work the American Autism Association does would be possible without friends like you.
Because of friends like you, people with autism and their families will have access to life-changing resources and support. We wanted to do a special shout out to celebrate all the people who participated in World Autism Month and supported the American Autism Association. We couldn’t have done this without them!
