About Us
The Autism Puzzle Foundation will take every opportunity to:
- Change the way society views individuals with disabilities
- Create a comfortable place for those on the Autism spectrum
- Support Autism research efforts
Together, we will change society’s view of individuals with disabilities. Together, we will create a place in the world for individuals on
the Autism Spectrum- for their sake and the world’s. We will do this by being vocal about the needs of individuals with Autism Spectrum
Disorder. We will do this by shouting their strengths. One day someone will look back and think it odd that individuals on the autism spectrum
had difficulty finding a place in the workforce and in the world.
A devastating disorder that currently affects 1 in every 166 children born in the United States. Did you know that in the decade of the 90's,
this disorder grew by 137% while the U.S. population grew at only a 13% rate? Did you know that this disorder has no known cause or cure?
This disorder is known as autism.
In an effort to raise awareness about autism and educate people on its devastating effects on children and families living with autism,
we have taken on the challenge of organizing a fund raising event to benefit both the “Autism Speaks" (formerly Cure Autism Now foundation
and Autism Speaks were separate, they have joined together now) and the Autism Puzzle Foundation. The funds we are able to raise through
these events will go directly to national scientific research as well as local community education and assistance. Each of which will
hopefully, one day, eradicate this disorder once and for all.
