Donate Today - Make a difference
Autism is now being diagnosed in 1 in 100 children, making it more common than
AIDS, diabetes and paediatric cancer combined.
With so many children being directly affected by autism,
the disease likely touches the lives of nearly every Canadian in some way.
Now, Autism Canada needs your help more than ever to help control this epidemic.
Your donation will be directed toward programs which give parents, caregivers and professionals information
about effective treatments and therapies as well as programs to support scientific research
focused on finding the cause and cure for autism.
There are a number of ways in which you can make a financial contribution to this worthwhile cause:
