"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. The pace is quickening, and, God willing, we won't stop until we have conquered autism—one child, one voice at a time."
---- Suzanne and Bob Wright, Co-founders, Autism Speaks
I learned of AutismSpeaks from Larry King's interview with Bill Cosby, Toni Braxton , and Danny Cole today, April 1, 2007. Cosby has been advocate of the welfare of kids with autism since Cosby Show co-star's child was diagnosed with the disorder. Braxton's 3-year old son was recently diagnosed with autism. Cosby and Braxton are set to perform at the AutismSpeaks concert on April 9 at the Lincoln Center. --- Mai
