Autism Speaks - Autism Speaks was born out of a single family's experience, our family, but its goal is to give a voice to an entire community, to every family dealing with the hardships of autism. The journey that began a year ago in a doctor's waiting room is now a march. In fact, at the end of our first year, we joined forces with the National Alliance for Autism Research (NAAR), creating the largest single organization devoted to autism in the nation. (Click here for a history of NAAR). The pace is quickening, and, God willing, we won't stop until we have conquered autism one child, one voice at a time.
