Life has a way of changing trajectory and teaching us when we least expect it! After years of questions, it was both a challenge to accept and a relief to hear when Shane was diagnosed with high-functioning autism. Though the road ahead will no doubt be filled with many peaks and valleys, the challenge to not only overcome, but thrive has been accepted.
Through the great work of organizations like the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation, autism will continue to be better understood, treated, and accepted.
While this journey is ours to walk, I hope you will support my run in Falmouth this fall. Thank you for your support, not merely financially speaking, but emotionally!
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.
