Help us get as many Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, & Arkansas's Representatives as possible to cosponsor the Autism CARES Act of 2024 before they leave Washington D.C. for Memorial Day Weekend.
It takes less than one minute. Take Action Today! https://actnow.io/bcxk7at
Last week the Autism CARES Act of 2024 passed through a key subcommittee in Congress. It is the only federal law solely dedicated to support of the autism community. The law must be renewed to continue to drive research discoveries, train healthcare professionals and help improve the services available to autistic people across the country.
I just took action on an issue important to the autism community - passing the Autism CARES Act of 2024! Join me in taking action to advance autism research and services.
The Autism CARES Act, is up for renewal in September.. The CARES Act is the main source of federal funding for autism research, services, and training. Let's encourage our MISSOURI representatives to support this funding. It takes about 15 seconds to do!
Post DONE! When you've submitted yours!

In research, in advocacy and in support of others, women lead the way. Across the country and over the years, mothers have been fierce advocates for their children, self-advocates have defied expectations, grandmothers have broken down barriers, and aunts, sisters, cousins, and friends have joined forces to make change. The St. Louis Women Leading the Way Luncheon celebrates women in the autism community who have paved the way for success.
Join Autism Speaks as we honor women and caregivers all across the St. Louis area at our inaugural St. Louis Women Leading the Way Luncheon on Thursday, August 22, 2024 at Westwood Country Club.
