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 South Carolina we have funded over $500,000 in these areas. With your help we can to do even more! Whether you are interested in raising money, volunteering your time, researching local services, encouraging your politicians to support autism legislation, or just staying up to date with what is happening in the South Carolina autism community, we invite you to visit these community pages often.
