 Full Description: 
At Autism Speaks, our goal is to change the future for those with autism spectrum disorders.

Autism Speaks is dedicated to funding global biomedical research into the causes, prevention, treatments, and cure for autism. It is also committed to raising public awareness about autism and its effects on individuals, families, and society, and to raising the funds necessary to support these goals.

Autism Speaks aims to bring the autism community together as one strong voice to urge the government and private sector to listen to its concerns and take action to address this urgent global health crisis.

"It is our firm belief that, working together, we will find the missing pieces of the puzzle."

Autism Speaks committed an unprecedented $30 million in new research funding to uncover the cause(s), prevention, treatments and cure for autism, making it the nation's top private funder of autism research. Autism Speaks' public service announcement campaign, produced with the Ad Council, garnered over $81 million in donated media and led to a nationwide 14 percentage point increase in autism awareness by the general public.
