World Autism Month 2024
Chase the rainbow with AU this month to find it’s good as gold all the way to the end!
1 in 36 children is diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) released the newest autism prevalence statistic on March 23, 2023, and it reveals an increase from 1 in 44 in the report published in 2022. The need for autism services and supports continues to grow. In our community alone, there are an estimated 15,000+ individuals living with autism in need of the custom programs and support services offered by AutismUp. Our membership has grown from 4 determined families to exceed over 3,700 families in 20 years. We've grown by 600+ in the last year alone!
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 2024?
