Autism Speaks Canada

At Autism Speaks Canada, our mission is to change the future for all who struggle with autism spectrum disorders. We are dedicated to funding global research into the causes, prevention, treatments and cure for autism: to raising public awareness about autism and its effects on individuals, families, and society: and to bring hope to all who deal with the hardships of this disorder. We are committed to raising the funds necessary to support these goals. Autism Speaks Canada aims to bring the autism community together as one strong voice to urge the government and private sector to listen to our concerns and take action to address this urgent global health crisis. It is our firm belief that, working together, we will find the missing pieces of the puzzle. Autism Speaks was founded in 2005 by Bob and Suzanne Wright, grandparents of a child with autism. In 2006, Autism Speaks became incorporated in Canada. Autism Speaks Canada is governed by a Canadian board Autism Speaks and Autism Speaks Canada have since grown into the world's leading autism science and advocacy organization. “Autism Speaks Canada is committed to improving lives today and transforming lives tomorrow.”
