1 in 54 children is diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) released the newest autism prevalence statistic on March 26, 2020, and it reveals an increase of nearly 10%, up from 1 in 59 in the report published in 2018. The need for autism services and supports continues to grow. In our community alone, there are an estimated 10,000 individuals living with autism in need of the custom programs and support services offered by AutismUp.

Show your support, get involved, and help lift families living with autism up. Your support has never been more important as we face unprecedented challenges, including maintaining programming and expanding opportunities for children and adults with autism, and ensuring individuals with autism have a bright future amidst the current reduction in services and uncertainty caused by the pandemic.

Will you join us on the journey to build pathways for people growing up with autism in 2021?
