Autism Speaks is dedicated to:

• Science and Research - leading us to answers and interventions
• Family Services - providing families with information, tools and resources
• Awareness - increasing public knowledge and understanding of autism 
• Advocacy - accelerating national and state autism legislation

In Texas, we have funded over $2,912,000 in these areas.

Texans all over the state, particularly in Dallas/Ft. Worth, Houston, Austin, and West Texas are all working tirelessly in their local communities to better the lives of their loved ones affected by autism. We invite you to find out more and participate in statewide advocacy efforts, local community resources, upcoming events, and ways to get involved.
