Autism Speaks Canada

WHAT WE DO: Research, Awareness, Advocacy, Family Services  
WHAT WE OFFER: HOPE

Together with Autism Speaks, the founding organization in the United States, Autism Speaks Canada has grown into North America’s largest autism science, awareness and advocacy organization, dedicated to funding research into the causes, prevention, treatments and a cure for autism; increasing awareness of autism spectrum disorders; and advocating for the needs of individuals with autism and their families.

The statistics are shocking:

•     1 out of every 110 children will be diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder.
•     Four times as many boys than girls will be diagnosed:1 in 70
•     Autism is more prevalent than pediatric cancer, AIDS and diabetes combined.
•     It can cost $80-$100K each year to treat someone with autism.
•     There is no medical detection for autism.
•     There is no known cure.
•     Autism doesn’t ‘go away’ .. it is a lifelong condition.

Join with us as we work to effect change for the Canadian autism community.

Autism Speaks .. its time to listen.
