Autism Speaks

Working together to find the missing pieces of the puzzle.

At Autism Speaks, the goal is to change the future for all who struggle with autism spectrum disorders.

They are dedicated to funding global biomedical research into the causes, prevention, treatments, and cure for autism; to raising public awareness about autism and its effects on individuals, families, and society; and to bringing hope to all who deal with the hardships of this disorder.

Autism Speaks aims to bring the autism community together as one strong voice to urge the government and private sector to listen to our concerns and take action to address this urgent global health crisis. It is their firm belief that, working together, we will find the missing pieces of the puzzle.

Jewelers for Children began supporting Autism Speaks, our newest legacy charity, in 2007 and has donated $ 150,000 since that time.  Our funding has been allocated to Autism Speaks walks across the country and is being used to fund research, public awareness, advocacy, and family services.

“I cannot instantaneously cure my brother's autism, but I can accept the situation we are in, and put forth my best effort to improve it. I would do anything to make my dream become reality and hear my brother speak. But even though he may never ask me to play catch with him, the smile on his face when we are playing together shows me that he feels like the luckiest person in the world.”  Eric, brother to Adam, an autistic child.
