My Story…
"If you have met one person with autism, you have met one person with autism." Stephen Shore
My son Graham was diagnosed with high functioning autism spectrum disorder when he was 6 years old. Graham is a very bright, kind, and sweet boy who has made immense progress. We are proud of all that he has accomplished and look forward to watching him grow into an adult.
I support the Flutie Foundation because of its emphasis on quality programs and activities that enhance the lives of those living with autism. I am honored to be part of their team and looking forward to running the Falmouth road race to support this cause. Thank you for your donation.
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.
