Tomorrow is World Suicide Prevention Day
2X Match: Ensure support for every family

2X MATCH: DONATE ( [link removed] )

Dear friend,

At Autism Speaks, we celebrate and encourage autistic joy and happiness at every possible opportunity. But today, I have an obligation to address a sobering reality—one that has only become more urgent as shifting policies have put access to vital resources like Medicaid into question.

The reality: People with autism are significantly more likely to think about and attempt suicide than non-autistic people. The distinction only becomes more alarming when you dig into the details.

As the father of an autistic young adult, the data above chills me to my core—especially when considering that one in nine children with autism in the U.S. aren’t getting the healthcare they need, including access to mental health services.

That’s why, this World Suicide Prevention Day, I’m calling on allies like you to show up and make a MATCHED gift to help ensure Autism Speaks is always ready to connect autistic people and their families with vital support. Can I count on you? ( [link removed] )

2X MATCH: DONATE ( [link removed] )

With your MATCHED gift today, we can provide FREE support to autistic people and their families, whether it’s:

- On the phone with the Autism Response Team trained experts
- On the ground at an Empowerment Walk;
- On our website’s comprehensive, easy-to-use Resource Guide.

At Autism Speaks, we celebrate and encourage autistic joy and happiness at every possible opportunity. But today, I have an obligation to address a sobering reality—one that has only become more urgent as shifting policies have put access to vital resources like Medicaid into question.

Together, we can ensure no one ever navigates the autism journey alone—and right now, your next gift will make DOUBLE the impact. ( [link removed] ) Give before midnight to send 2X the resources, support, and LOVE to the autism community this World Suicide Prevention Day. ( [link removed] )

Regardless of how much or how often, your selfless contribution WILL change lives for the better.

Thank you,

Keith Wargo President & CEO Autism Speaks
