About Us
Autism Speaks is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting solutions for the needs of individuals with autism and their families. Founded in 2005, the organization focuses on advocacy, support, and research to enhance the lives of those affected by autism spectrum disorder. Autism Speaks works to increase understanding and acceptance of autism spectrum disorder and advance research into causes and better interventions for autism spectrum disorder and related conditions.
The organization is committed to sustainability in its operations and initiatives. Autism Speaks integrates environmentally friendly practices in its events and encourages digital communication to reduce paper waste. However, detailed information on their comprehensive sustainability practices, such as carbon footprint calculations or ESG reports, is limited. Autism Speaks continues to strive for improvements in its sustainability efforts as part of its broader mission to support communities and families.
