AUTISM SPEAKS was founded in 2005 by Suzanne and Bob Wright, grandparents of a child with autism.

Merging with three leading autism organizations and building upon their legacy, Autism Speaks has made extraordinary advancements: increasing global awareness of autism; advocating access to care and support; and funding research that has resulted in a better understanding of the breadth of the autism spectrum.
