November is National Family Caregivers Month
This November, our focus is on National Family Caregivers Month, holiday planning, and preparation for travel and social events. Our Public Policy resources include an overview of the American Rescue Plan, early intervention planning, and access to our Action Center.
Did you know: 78 million family members in the US are providing unpaid care to children and adults? This month, the Autism Society is honoring caregivers nationwide who dedicate their time and resources to loved ones.

November 29th is Giving Tuesday, a global day of giving where millions of people support and advocate for the causes they connect to and care so much about. Please consider donating to the Autism Society this Giving Tuesday, so we can use your gift to support our ongoing efforts in the Autism community across the country. From educational resources, information and referral support, and federal advocacy efforts, your gift will make all the difference in helping Autistic individuals live fully with meaningful, inclusive opportunities.
