WELCOME TO
FRIENDS OF AUTISM
In Wisconsin, at least one child is diagnosed with autism every day. What is Autism? Autism is the most prevalent developmental disability - affecting more children than cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, hearing loss, and vision impairment. In fact, more children will be diagnosed with autism than with childhood leukemia, diabetes, and cancer combined. Adults with autism continue to face challenges integrating into adult life after special education services end.
Friends of Autism was established in 2000 as the only autism charity in Wisconsin dedicated to raising money to fund autism research, awareness, and education. Friends of Autism is powered by volunteers and relied upon by families and professionals throughout the state.
