Autism Speaks was founded in February 2005 by Bob and Suzanne Wright, grandparents of a child with autism. Since then, Autism Speaks has grown into the world’s leading autism science and advocacy organization. Its goal is to change the future for all who struggle with autism spectrum disorders and is dedicated to funding global biomedical research of the causes, prevention, treatments, and cure for Autism. Autism Speaks also raises public awareness about Autism and its effects on individuals, families, and society. For more information, please visit both the RL and SL Autism Speaks websites.
