Thank you Empire State Building for celebrating World Autism Month and Autism Speaks with our spectrum of colors. #WorldAutismDay

Major kudos to Charles for sticking up for Tony, his family and autistic individuals. Let’s get #HireTonySnell trending & let’s keep finding ways to support others with autism.

Autism Speaks stands with Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy. We must strive for a world where individuals with autism and their families are met with support and understanding, not mockery and insults. Read our CEO’s statement #MyCauseMyCleats autismspeaks.org/news/autism-sp…

That is not and has never been a focus of our organization. In fact, many years ago we stopped referencing ‘cure’ in all our language. Please see here for more from our CEO on the vision and work of Autism Speaks. autismspeaks.org/news/letter-au…

🗣️: HC Todd Bowles on representing autism speaks for #MyCauseMyCleats

''You don’t seem autistic to me.'
I hear these words often. Sometimes they are said in disbelief or outright mistrust. This skepticism might come from good friends or co-workers in the disability fields.'

We are saddened to hear of the passing of @RepMcEachin and send our deepest condolences to his family, friends & staff. Rep. McEachin consistently supported efforts in Congress to improve outcomes for autistic people & their families. We'll be forever grateful for his efforts.

''You can’t be autistic. You have friendships!'
After hearing this, I was furious. 30 years of self-doubt and frustration washed over me as I remembered the misdiagnosis, the misinformation, and the misunderstandings.'

'And do you know what? Liam’s routine made me feel better. We said hello to the fish, we went into the gym, we put our things away, and we walked back to the classroom.' okt.to/xiJAoP
