2024 | Eastern Run Walk for Autism: Mrs. Kimberly Wasik

Each day, roughly 10 North Carolina families have a child diagnosed with a form of autism. In 2004, that family was ours with Brandon's diagnosis of Asperger's. We we immediately told all the things he would never do, but Brandon never listened. Each year we watched as Brandon attempted and succeeded with the impossible. It is our HOPE that others will be inspired by Brandon's story and achieve the same success.

Proceeds from the Run Walk for Autism will fund local programs of the Autism Society of North Carolina (ASNC), which serves the over 95,000 families affected by autism in our state.

Please consider making a gift that can:

make it possible for an Autism Resource Specialist to calm a distressed parent after their child's diagnosis.
make it possible for parents to take much-needed breaks to care for themselves or another child.
make it possible for someone with autism to live and work independently.

The Autism Society of North Carolina is the leading statewide resource organization serving people across the autism spectrum throughout their lifespans.

We understand the challenges of the autism community because we work with individuals on the autism spectrum and their families every day. We offer advocacy, training and education, and direct care that helps individuals with autism to, increase their social and communication skills, develop independent-living skills, succeed in school or on the job, participate in community activities, and advocate for themselves.

We have a statewide network of resources, connecting individuals with autism and their families to life-changing programs and supports unavailable anywhere else.
