About Us
Autism Speaks was
founded in February 2005 by Bob and Suzanne Wright, grandparents of a child with
autism. Their longtime friend Bernie Marcus donated
$25 million to help financially launch the organization. Since then, Autism
Speaks has grown into the world's leading autism science and advocacy
organization, dedicated to funding research into the causes, prevention,
treatments and a cure for autism; increasing awareness of autism spectrum
disorders; and advocating for the needs of individuals with autism and their
families. We are proud of what we've been able to accomplish and look forward
to continued successes in the years ahead.
