We couldn’t be more proud to support and speak out for the Autism spectrum disorder, often referred to as ASD, that affects 1 in 68 children (and boys, 1 in 42). In doing so, we recognize the world’s leading research and advocacy organization that meets the severe communication and social interaction challenges created by ASD.
