Autism now affects 1 in 68 children and 1 in 42 boys.

Autism is the fastest-growing developmental disability in the U.S.

Boys are nearly five times more likely than girls to have autism.

On average, autism costs a family more than $60,000 a year inmedical expenses, lost income, special education, residential careand other services.

Every 11 minutes, someone receives a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder.

There is no medical detection or cure for autism.

About Autism

Autism is a general term used to describe a group of complex developmental braindisorders – autism spectrum disorders – caused by a combination of genes and environmental influences. These disorders are characterized, in varying degrees, by communication difficulties, social and behavioral challenges, and repetitive behaviors. An estimated 1 in 68 childrenin the U.S. is on the autism spectrum.

ouR mission

We are dedicated to funding global biomed-ical research into the causes, prevention, treatments and a possible cure for autism. We strive to raise public awareness about autism and its effects on individuals, families and society, and we work to bring hope to all who deal with the hardships of this disorder. We are committed to raising the funds necessary to support these goals.

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

Dear Friends,

Henry Ford once said: “Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.” And it is by working together – across all geographic and socioeconomic boundaries – that we had such incredible success in 2014.

Our awareness campaign reached more villages, towns and cities on all seven continents than at any time in our history. When we asked the world to Light It Up Blue on April 2nd, World Autism Awareness Day, we got a resounding “yes” in 136 countries. More than 10,000 monuments, landmarks, buildings and homes were bathed in beautiful blue light, and tens of thousands of our families held candlelight vigils, rallies, marches and bake sales. Two million people visited our website and our team was featured on TV and radio, in print and online at least 1,000 times.

We never forget that awareness is at the core of our mission. Education starts critical conversations that can lead to collaboration and spark ideas for new solutions and treatments. In September, we held the Seventh Annual World Focus on Autism with first ladies and dignitaries, and we honored Liri Berisha, former first lady of Albania and president of the Albanian Children’s Foundation. Then in November, we had a great opportunity to advance our mission in Rome. We were warmly received by scholars and members of the clergy at the first

ever Pontifical conference on autism at the Vatican. Afterward at an audi-ence with Pope Francis, the pontiff called for worldwide support of autism families, and upon our return to the U.S. we answered his call by reaching out to the faithful of every religion.

The increased awareness continuously bolsters our advocacy efforts on the grassroots, state, national and international levels. International govern-ment spending on autism increases the same way our efforts in Washington D.C. and the states have resulted in billions of dollars for autism research, services and insurance. In August, President Obama signed into law the Autism CARES Act, which dedicates $1.3 billion in federal funding for autism research and adult services over the next five years. And, in late December, the President signed the Achieving a Better Life Experience Act (ABLE) which will create tax-free savings accounts for the 58 million disabled people in

the United States. It is the most significant piece of legislation for the disability community since the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. We were also successful in getting closer to our goal of autism insurance for everyone. In 2014, Maryland, Nebraska, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Utah enacted autism insur-ance plans.

Our Family Services team, meanwhile, has been tackling the immediate critical issues our families face on a day-to-day basis – like safety. Nearly 1,500 people with autism received scholarships from our team to learn water safety, and we’ve teamed up with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and Project Lifesaver International for assistance in wandering cases and first responder training. From town halls across the nation on adult housing and employment to a new community-based skills assessment to help parents, we leave no stone unturned when it comes to helping our community.

Author Anthony Robbins perhaps said it best: “Determination is the wake-up call to the human will.” At Autism Speaks, we have no shortage of determination to transform the future for every boy, girl, man and woman with autism around the world.

Suzanne and Bob Wright, Co-Founders

Letter from the PresidentDear Friends,

Our mission, quite simply, is to improve the lives and futures of all who struggle with an autism spectrum disorder. In looking back at the many years of determination and passion of our community and benefactors, we can declare 2014 as the Year of Impact! We have plenty of work in front of us, but the “wins” inspire us every day. With strong partners and tireless volunteers beside us, Autism Speaks made record progress in 2014.

In June, we announced the formal launch of MSSNG — our historic collaboration with Google to create the world’s largest genomic database on autism — and by the end of the year, we had surpassed all of the project’s early milestones. Rob Ring, our chief science officer, is leading this project with Dr. Stephen Scherer, the renowned geneticist from the Hospital for Sick Children, in Toronto. In addition to MSSNG, we co-funded several key autism research studies — including the largest-ever study on autism and exposure to air pollution during pregnancy, research to understand autism’s gut-brain connection, and a landmark study on the lifetime costs of autism.

We ended the year with two major federal legislative successes: passage of the Autism CARES Act and the Achieving a Better Life Experience Act (ABLE). Autism CARES extends the Combating Autism Act, authorizing $1.3 billion in funding for scientific research and specifically targeting issues surrounding the transition to adulthood. The ABLE Act, passed after nearly a decade of work, allows states to create tax-preferred savings accounts for people with disabilities without eliminating their access to other benefits. Our staff and volunteers are now working with state legislators across the country to enact ABLE programs, collecting thousands of voters’ signatures on petitions at walks, town halls and other events.

Our Family Services team focused on safety in 2014 by partnering with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to address wandering and by establishing the Autism Speaks Swimming and Water Safety Scholarship Fund. In addition, we introduced several easy-to-use tool kits including some for young adults on the spectrum, part of our focus on preparing adolescents for adulthood. We also launched an initiative to develop housing and community-living policies and programs across the country. National town halls hosted by Autism Speaks brought together families, adult-service providers and government officials to collaborate on creating solutions. Even as we worked toward a better future, our Autism Response Team continued to connect families to the resources they need now, responding to more than 47,500 calls and emails in 2014. This is a huge increase over 2013 that reminds us every day of the importance of our mission.

This work would not be possible without the incredible efforts of our staff, volunteers and partners who drive our fundraising efforts. Across the country, volunteers make our Walk Now for Autism Speaks events a fun, safe way for families to connect and celebrate each other. More than 500,000 people attended our 2014 walks, where they found resources, support and an opportunity to fund-raise for their cause. Perhaps most importantly, they found new friends who share their journey.

Our top sponsors did amazing work throughout the year to raise funds and awareness. They include: The TJX Companies, Dollar General, Toys “R” Us, Joe’s Crab Shack, White Castle, Modell’s Sporting Goods, Shoprite Supermarkets, Sprouts Farmers Market, The Home Depot, Credit Suisse, Samsung Canada, Lindt Chocolate, Philips, Vivint and Gap. The Alpha Xi Delta Women’s Fraternity hosted fundraising and awareness events in their communities, raising $1.1 million in 2014. We are also grateful to our generous donors including: The Allerton Foundation, BBDO Worldwide, The Gordon and Llura Gund Foundation, Tim Jones, the Mel Karmazin Foundation, Steven Wise and Susan Zikman Wise, Royal Arch Research Assistance, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, ZenithOptimedia, our co-founders Suzanne and Bob Wright, and the thousands of others who fund our mission.

The needs of the growing autism community are urgent. Autism Speaks is here to help, to educate and to provide the tools that help our community move forward. We have accomplished so much in 2014, but there is still so much to do.

Sincerely,

Liz FeldPresident

mssnG: Changing the future of autism with open science

Autism Speaks launched MSSNG (pronounced “missing”), its historic collabo-ration with Google to create the world’s largest genomic database on autism. The ambitious project will sequence the whole genomes of 10,000 people in families affected by the disorder. What we know about autism is not enough. MSSNG promises to deliver the missing answers.

largest-ever study on autism and pollution shows strong link during pregnancy

A study co-funded by Autism Speaks found autism rates doubled among children whose mothers were exposed to high levels of particulate air pollution (smog) during pregnancy. The findings suggest an urgent need to revisit public health policies on pollution limits.

Autism speaks invests $2.3 million in research on gut-brain connectionAutism Speaks funded two major research projects to advance understanding of autism’s gut-brain connection. The first explores the role of the microbiome (intestinal bacteria) in driving or relieving autism symptoms. The second focuses on chronic constipation, a serious problem for many people with autism. Funding for the studies, each spanning three years, will total more than $2.3 million.

evidence that reducing inflammation can ease autism symptoms

Research launched with an Autism Speaks Trailblazer grant provided new support for the theory that autism symptoms can result from inflammation and cell distress. Based on those findings, the study’s authors are developing and testing new autism medicines.

Advancing autism screening in developing countries

Researchers funded by Autism Speaks successfully field-tested a simple, practical method that non-specialists can use to screen for autism among schoolchildren in poor regions around the world. Such reliable yet easily administered tests are urgently needed in developing countries.

lifetime costs of autism average $1.4 million to $2.4 million

A landmark study funded by Autism Speaks produced a comprehensive estimate of autism’s costs to individuals, families and society. The lifetime cost of care averages $1.4 million to $2.4 million, depending on whether an intellectual disability is involved, and includes medical care, lost income, special education and residential supports. The yearly cost to society in the United States is $236 billion a year. This information is crucial for guiding public policy and planning services across the life span.

researchAutism speaks’ research program strives to improve lives today and transform lives tomorrow.

in 2014, Autism speaks invested $21.2 million in research to improve diagnosis, prevention, treatment and lifelong support for individuals and families affected by autism.

“this is groundbreaking. this is going to change everything we know about autismand everything we know about ourselves.”

Keeping the community safe

In 2014, Autism Speaks continued to focus on safety in the autism community. Nearly half of those with autism wander. In partnership with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), Autism Speaks is addressing that risk by providing resources, raising awareness and enhancing education. Autism Speaks and NCMEC responded to 150 wandering incidents. In addition, Autism Speaks established a Swimming and Water Safety Scholarship Fund, which enables service providers to offer scholarships to financially disadvan-taged people with autism. Throughout the year, close to 1,500 swimmers benefited from scholarships. Autism Speaks also awarded a grant to Project Lifesaver International to protect people with autism through a multifaceted approach involving wearable technology, first-responder training and education for families.

preparing adolescents for adulthood

Autism Speaks introduced its Community-based Skills Assessment, developed with Virginia Commonwealth University Rehabilitation Research and Training Center. This free online tool helps parents and professionals identify instruc-tional priorities so that teams can create comprehensive, individualized plans to ease the transition to adulthood. This is the first tool to assess needs in the area of community-based living, from transportation to financial management to peer relationships and more.

Advancing housing solutions

Autism Speaks focused on increasing housing and community living options for adults with autism and adolescents entering adulthood. A national town hall series brought together families, adult-service providers and government officials to discuss challenges and opportunities. In addition, Autism Speaks launched an initiative to develop housing and community-living policies and programs. The goal is to ensure diverse options by collaborating with a wide range of stakeholders.

opening doors to air travel

Autism Speaks partnered with JetBlue Airways to host Blue Horizons for Autism, a series of five air travel training events across the U.S. and in Santiago, Dominican Republic. More than 1,000 people with autism and their families practiced everything from check-in through boarding in a realistic, supportive setting.

Connecting families with resources

In 2014, the Autism Response Team, a group of Autism Speaks staff members specially trained to connect individuals with autism and their families to tools and resources, responded to more than 47,500 calls and emails, including nearly 4,000 in Spanish, a 55 percent increase from the year before.

familyservicesAutism speaks Family services grant programs provided fundingto more than 340 organizations nationwide. the result: increased services for more than 8,000people with autism.

“When i went through the diagnosis, Autism speaks was the first place that i turned to. When i work with families that go through a diagnosis, they’re the first website that i give. i give all the tool kits: the 100 Day tool Kit, and i have a thumb drive with all of them that

i can gift to families. And for me that was my hope.” Amy Kelly Mother of daughter on the spectrum, ATN National & Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Family Advisory

Committee Co-Chair, and Devereux PA Director of Family Supports & Services

learn the signs

Since 2006, Autism Speaks has partnered with the Ad Council to produce Learn the Signs, a series of public service announcements. It is one of the most successful campaigns in the Ad Council’s history, generating more than $460 million in donated media space and earning numerous awards. The campaign is also credited with raising awareness of autism prevalence among parents of young children by nearly 50 percent. Since the launch, parents have become more than twice as likely to speak with their child’s doctor or health profession-al about autism, leading to earlier diagnosis and treatment.

light it up blue

In its fifth year, Autism Speaks’ global Light It Up Blue awareness campaign reached new heights. More than 10,000 iconic landmarks, businesses, communities and homes in 136 countries united on World Autism Awareness Day, April 2, to shine a bright light on autism. During a special lighting cere-mony at the Empire State Building, Autism Speaks and Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit behind Sesame Street, announced an initiative to help communities “see the amazing in all children” and reduce the stigma surrounding autism.

major league sports make a difference

2014 was a year of big plays for Autism Speaks. All 30 Major League Baseball clubs hosted an awareness game, and many teams provided quiet zones and sensory-friendly environments for fans with autism. College basketball rallied around the autism community during the inaugural Coaches Powering Forward for Autism awareness campaign. Spearheaded by NCAA basketball coaches Pat Skerry and Tom Herrion, the program provided coaches, their teams, schools and fans with opportunities to get involved and raise aware-ness. More than 82 NCAA coaches and broadcasters wore the Autism Speaks puzzle-piece pin during games. NASCAR also got into the action at the FedEx 400 Benefiting Autism Speaks Sprint Cup Series race. More than 400 people attended Autism Speaks Day at the Races, a sensory-friendly fan experience provided by Dover International Speedway. On the racetrack, Denny Hamlin’s No. 11 FedEx Toyota featured a one-of-a-kind Autism Speaks paint scheme with fans’ names inscribed on blue puzzle pieces.

World Focus on Autism

Autism Speaks hosted its seventh annual World Focus on Autism during the United Nations General Assembly. As heads of state gathered in New York City, first spouses from Asia, Africa, Latin America, Europe and the Middle East joined us for a forum that united the global autism movement. Hosted by Autism Speaks co-founders Suzanne and Bob Wright, dignitaries heard about global strategies from Dr. Liri Berisha, former first lady of Albania and president of the Albanian Children’s Foundation, and Mrs. Ban Soon-taek, spouse of U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.

awarenessin march, the Centers for Disease Control and prevention issued a new prevalence report, which found that 1 in 68 children in the united states have an autism spectrum disorder–a 30 percent increase in just two years. in response, Autismspeaks called for a comprehensive national strategy bringing together researchers, policy-makers,educators and caregivers to address the autism community’s needs across the life span. Autism speaks experts were interviewed by many leading media outlets, including the Washington post, usA today, AbC news, Cbs evening news, nbC nightly news, Cnn and msnbC. and

“With awareness comes funding. With funding comes research. With research comes treatment. And that is the enduring legacy of Autism speaks.”

Autism CARes Act

The Autism CARES Act was signed into law to continue and extend the Combating Autism Act, authorizing $1.3 billion in funding for scientific research. That includes, for the first time, a focus on issues surrounding the transition to adulthood.

Able Act

After a nearly decade-long battle, the Achieving a Better Life Experience Act (ABLE) was signed into law. It is widely considered the most significant disability-related legislation since the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. ABLE allows states to create tax-preferred savings accounts – much like 529 college-savings accounts – for people with disabilities, generally without losing eligibility for Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income and other benefits. States must now enact ABLE programs to help families take advantage of the new law.

self-funded health plansIn 2014, at least a dozen large companies that fund their own health benefit plans agreed to cover autism treatment, including applied behavior analysis. Since companies that self-fund their health plans are not subject to the state insurance mandates that have passed in more than 38 states, Autism Speaks works with employees to convince employers to voluntarily add benefits. Companies adding coverage in 2014 include: Bloomberg BNA in Arlington, VA; Genentech in San Francisco; Nike in Beaverton, OR; Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research in Cambridge, MA; and T. Rowe Price in Baltimore.

Autism insurance reform

The year brought new coverage to several states: Utah; Nebraska; Maryland; Washington (via litigation); and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Coverage was expanded in Kansas, Maine and Oregon.

Coverage for applied behavior analysis

After years of lobbying by Autism Speaks and others, the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services took action to remind state Medicaid agencies of their obligation to cover all medically necessary care for Medicaid-eligible children with autism spectrum disorder. States will now offer applied behavior analysis (ABA) as “medical assistance” under the mandatory Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment services (EPSDT). The program serves millions of children who did not have access to comprehensive care, including those receiving services through home- and community-based waivers.

advocacytRiCARe: the u.s. Department of Defense agreed to a four-yearpilot program that removes existing restrictions on coverage of applied behavior analysis (AbA) ondependents of military personnel and retirees.

“this could not have happened without your work, without the leadership of Autism speaks, without the grassroots effort that took place across the country…

the people of this country spoke with one unified voice and the people won when we passed the Able Act.”

U.S. Senator Bob Casey of Pennsylvania
