 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 New Jersey, we have funded over $1,943,000 in these areas.
