Thank you so much for donating to my page. If you know me and my family, you know our oldest was diagnosed with autism back in 2016, just after his 3rd birthday. At the time of his initial diagnosis we were told he was severe and that communication was going to be limited. Fast forward 6 years and our son is a high functioning sweet young man who has academic delays and social delays. He is the most empathic person you will meet, he loves to play pranks. He loves legos, video games and his family. Thanks to the Doug Flutie Foundation we have been able to attend sensory friendly events where we felt comfortable and welcomed! It is our turn to pay it forward and let other families experience the acceptance we have. Thank you for your generosity!

Description
Former NFL Quarterback, Doug Flutie, and his wife Laurie started the Doug Flutie, Jr. Flutie Foundation for Autism in 1998 after their son, Dougie, was diagnosed with autism at the age of three. Their personal experience of raising a son on the autism spectrum inspired them to help others on an equally long and challenging journey. Over its 20-year history, the Flutie Foundation has distributed over $14 million to schools and organizations that provide clinical therapies, respite services, recreational programs, social skills training, job supports and more for people affected by autism.
The Flutie Foundation also provides education technology tools, adaptive camp scholarships, safety equipment, and direct family support through its special programs. The Flutie Foundation’s newest initiative, Flutie Spectrum Enterprises, will help create businesses to employ adults with autism.
