Around the time Southwest Autism Research and Resource Center (SARRC) was founded, the incidence of an autism diagnosis was 1 in 500; today it is 1 in 36.

This year, I am participating in YES Day Walk for Autism to raise critical autism funding not only for SARRC but for other nonprofit autism organizations throughout the state as well. Importantly, all dollars raised will be kept in Arizona for Arizona.

YES Day Walk for Autism is as much about saying “YES” to autism awareness, support and inclusion as it is to saying “YES” to statewide collaboration! Thank you for considering saying “YES!”
