Light It Up Blue
Join Autism Speaks in celebrating World Autism Awareness Day on April 2 and Light It Up Blue to help shine a light on autism. Whether it’s your front porch or local city hall, an office party or a banquet, the whole world is going blue to increase awareness about autism.
If breakthroughs take time, how can research help families today?
A letter to our community from Autism Speaks Chief Science Officer Geri Dawson, Ph.D.
Statement on Revisions to the DSM Definition of Autism
Autism Speaks is concerned that planned revisions to the definition of autism spectrum disorder may restrict diagnoses in ways that may deny vital medical treatments and social services to some people.
Walk Now for Autism Speaks
Powered by volunteers and families with loved ones on the autism spectrum, Walk Now for Autism Speaks brings together hundreds of thousands of participants annually across the United States and Canada with a common goal of generating vital funds for autism research and raising awareness.
