WE STRIVE TO RAISE PUBLIC AWARENESS ABOUT AUTISM AND ITS EFFECTS ON INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES, AND SOCIETY AND WE WORK TO BRING HOPE TO ALL WHO DEAL WITH THE HARDSHIPS OF THIS DISORDER. WE ARE COMMITTED TO RAISING THE FUNDS NECESSARY TO SUPPORT THESE GOALS. AUTISM SPEAKS AIMS TO BRING THE AUTISM COMMUNITY TOGETHER AS ONE STRONG VOICE TO URGE THE GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE SECTOR TO LISTEN TO OUR CONCERNS AND TAKE ACTION TO ADDRESS THIS URGENT GLOBAL HEALTH CRISIS. IT IS OUR FIRM BELIEF THAT, WORKING TOGETHER, WE WILL FIND THE MISSING PIECES OF THE PUZZLE.

RESEARCH/SCIENCE: THE PROGRAMMATIC GOALS OF THE SCIENCE/RESEARCH PROGRAM STRIVE TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF PEOPLE AFFECTED BY AUTISM TODAY, AS WELL AS IMPROVE THEIR FUTURE BY ADVANCING SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH. THE RESEARCH FOCUSES ON DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT, SERVICE DELIVERY AND PREVENTION. IN 2014, AUTISM SPEAKS LAUNCHED MSSNG (PRONOUNCED "MISSING"), ITS HISTORIC COLLABORATION WITH GOOGLE TO CREATE THE WORLD'S LARGEST GENOMIC DATABASE ON AUTISM. THE AMBITIOUS PROJECT WILL SEQUENCE THE WHOLE GENOMES OF 10,000 FAMILIES AFFECTED BY THE DISORDER. THE RESULT WILL BE AN AUTISM RESEARCH OPEN SOURCE DATABASE CONTAINING EXTENSIVE DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION AS IT PERTAINS TO ENVIRONMENTAL, BEHAVIORAL, AND MEDICAL FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH AUTISM. THIS COULD UNCOVER VARIOUS FORMS OF AUTISM AND LEAD TO INDIVIDUALIZED TREATMENT FOR PEOPLE LIVING ACROSS THE AUTISM SPECTRUM. A STUDY CO-FUNDED BY AUTISM SPEAKS FOUND AUTISM RATES DOUBLED AMONG CHILDREN WHOSE MOTHERS WERE EXPOSED TO HIGH LEVELS OF PARTICULATE AIR POLLUTION (SMOG) DURING PREGNANCY. THE FINDINGS SUGGEST AN URGENT NEED TO REVISIT PUBLIC HEALTH POLICIES ON POLLUTION LIMITS. IN ADDITION, AUTISM SPEAKS FUNDED TWO MAJOR RESEARCH PROJECTS TO ADVANCE UNDERSTANDING OF AUTISM'S GUT-BRAIN CONNECTION. THE FIRST EXPLORES THE ROLE OF THE MICROBIOME (INTESTINAL BACTERIA) IN DRIVING OR RELIEVING AUTISM SYMPTOMS. THE SECOND FOCUSES ON CHRONIC CONSTIPATION, A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR MANY PEOPLE WITH AUTISM. RESEARCH LAUNCHED WITH AN AUTISM SPEAKS TRAILBLAZER GRANT PROVIDED NEW SUPPORT FOR THE THEORY THAT AUTISM SYMPTOMS CAN RESULT FROM INFLAMMATION AND CELL DISTRESS. BASED ON THOSE FINDINGS, THE STUDY'S AUTHORS ARE DEVELOPING AND TESTING NEW AUTISM MEDICINES. RESEARCHERS, ALSO FUNDED BY AUTISM SPEAKS, SUCCESSFULLY FIELD-TESTED A SIMPLE, PRACTICAL METHOD THAT NON-SPECIALISTS CAN USE TO SCREEN FOR AUTISM AMONG SCHOOLCHILDREN IN POOR REGIONS AROUND THE WORLD. SUCH RELIABLE YET EASILY ADMINISTERED TESTS ARE URGENTLY NEEDED IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES. A LANDMARK STUDY FUNDED BY AUTISM SPEAKS PRODUCED A COMPREHENSIVE ESTIMATE OF AUTISM'S COSTS TO INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES AND SOCIETY. THE LIFETIME COST OF CARE AVERAGES $1.4 MILLION TO $2.4 MILLION, DEPENDING ON WHETHER AN INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY IS INVOLVED, AND INCLUDES MEDICAL CARE, LOST INCOME, SPECIAL EDUCATION AND RESIDENTIAL SUPPORTS. THE YEARLY COST TO SOCIETY IN THE UNITED STATES IS $236 BILLION A YEAR. THIS INFORMATION IS CRUCIAL FOR GUIDING PUBLIC POLICY AND PLANNING SERVICES ACROSS THE LIFESPAN. IN 2014, AUTISM SPEAKS SPENT $ 14,369,900 IN GRANTS AND AWARDS FOR NEW AND CONTINUING PROJECTS IN THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES: A. SPECIAL PROJECTS ($6,684,854) -- AUTISM SPEAKS-INITIATED PROJECTS AIMED AT ADDRESSING SPECIFIC NEEDS WITHIN THE AUTISM RESEARCH COMMUNITY. AUTISM SPEAKS STAFF WORK IN CONJUNCTION WITH INVESTIGATORS TO DEVELOP PROJECTS THAT MAY INCLUDE IMPROVEMENTS TO RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE, RAPID RESPONSES TO NEW AND HIGHLY VISIBLE PUBLIC HEALTH INITIATIVES, OR FACILITATING COLLABORATIONS BETWEEN INVESTIGATORS TO ADDRESS COMPLEX RESEARCH ISSUES FROM A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY PERSPECTIVE. IN 2014, SPECIAL PROJECTS INCLUDED THE AUTISM AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES MONITORING NETWORK (ADDM), THE PRECLINICAL AUTISM CONSORTIUM FOR THERAPEUTICS (ANIMAL MODEL DEVELOPMENT), DSM-5 (DIAGNOSTIC AND STATISTICAL MANUAL OF MENTAL DISORDERS, FIFTH EDITION) COMPARISONS, AND PROJECTS AROUND EARLY INTERVENTION. B. TREATMENT, BASIC RESEARCH AND DISSEMINATION PROJECTS. THESE INCLUDE THE AUTISM SPEAKS AUTISM TREATMENT NETWORK ($2,138,915), BASIC & CLINICAL STUDIES ($3,199,364), GI AND NEUROBEHAVIOR STUDIES ($383,967), TRAILBLAZER AWARD ($100,000), AND TREATMENT STUDIES ($743,013). C. TRAINING GRANTS, INCLUDING MEIXNER TRANSLATIONAL POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS ($594,477) AND WEATHERSTONE PREDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS ($525,310).

AWARENESS, FAMILY SERVICES, ADVOCACY: AWARENESS IS A CORNERSTONE OF THE AUTISM SPEAKS MISSION. IN ITS FIFTH YEAR, AUTISM SPEAKS' GLOBAL LIGHT IT UP BLUE AWARENESS CAMPAIGN REACHED NEW HEIGHTS. MORE THAN 10,000 ICONIC LANDMARKS, BUSINESSES, COMMUNITIES AND HOMES IN 136 COUNTRIES UNITED ON WORLD AUTISM AWARENESS DAY, APRIL 2, TO SHINE A BRIGHT LIGHT ON AUTISM. AT A SPECIAL LIGHTING CEREMONY AT THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING, AUTISM SPEAKS AND SESAME WORKSHOP, THE NONPROFIT BEHIND SESAME STREET, ANNOUNCED AN INITIATIVE TO HELP COMMUNITIES "SEE THE AMAZING IN ALL CHILDREN" AND REDUCE THE STIGMA SURROUNDING CHILDREN WITH AUTISM. AUTISM SPEAKS HOSTED ITS SEVENTH ANNUAL WORLD FOCUS ON AUTISM DURING THE UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY. AS HEADS OF STATE GATHERED IN NEW YORK CITY, FIRST SPOUSES FROM ASIA, AFRICA, LATIN AMERICA, EUROPE AND THE MIDDLE EAST GATHERED FOR A FORUM THAT UNITED THE GLOBAL AUTISM MOVEMENT. HOSTED BY AUTISM SPEAKS CO-FOUNDERS SUZANNE AND BOB WRIGHT, DIGNITARIES HEARD ABOUT GLOBAL STRATEGIES FROM DR. LIRI BERISHA, FORMER FIRST LADY OF ALBANIA AND PRESIDENT OF THE ALBANIAN CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION, AND MRS. BAN SOON-TAEK, SPOUSE OF U.N. SECRETARY-GENERAL BAN KI-MOON. FAMILY SERVICES IS COMMITTED TO CONNECTING AND EMPOWERING INDIVIDUALS WITH AUTISM AND THEIR FAMILIES WITH RESOURCES TO IMPROVE THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE TODAY AND INTO THE FUTURE. AUTISM SPEAKS CONTINUED TO FOCUS ON SAFETY IN THE AUTISM COMMUNITY. NEARLY HALF OF THOSE WITH AUTISM WANDER. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR MISSING AND EXPLOITED CHILDREN (NCMEC), AUTISM SPEAKS RESPONDED TO 150 WANDERING INCIDENTS. IN ADDITION, AUTISM SPEAKS ESTABLISHED THE SWIMMING AND WATER SAFETY SCHOLARSHIP FUND, WHICH ENABLES SERVICE PROVIDERS TO OFFER SCHOLARSHIPS TO FINANCIALLY DISADVANTAGED PEOPLE WITH AUTISM. NEARLY 1,500 SWIMMERS BENEFITED FROM SCHOLARSHIPS. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, AUTISM SPEAKS FOCUSED ON INCREASING THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY LIVING OPTIONS FOR ADULTS WITH AUTISM AND ADOLESCENTS ENTERING ADULTHOOD. A NATIONAL TOWN HALL SERIES BROUGHT THEM TOGETHER WITH FAMILIES, ADULT-SERVICE PROVIDERS AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS TO DISCUSS CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES. AUTISM SPEAKS ALSO LAUNCHED AN INITIATIVE TO DEVELOP HOUSING AND COMMUNITY-LIVING POLICIES AND PROGRAMS. THE GOAL IS TO ENSURE DIVERSE OPTIONS BY COLLABORATING WITH A WIDE RANGE OF STAKEHOLDERS. THE AUTISM RESPONSE TEAM, A GROUP OF AUTISM SPEAKS STAFF MEMBERS SPECIALLY TRAINED TO CONNECT INDIVIDUALS WITH AUTISM AND THEIR FAMILIES TO TOOLS AND RESOURCES, RESPONDED TO MORE THAN 47,500 CALLS AND EMAILS, INCLUDING NEARLY 4,000 IN SPANISH. THIS MARKED A 55 PERCENT INCREASE FROM THE YEAR BEFORE. IN 2014, AUTISM SPEAKS' STATE ADVOCACY INITIATIVES FOR AUTISM INSURANCE REFORM WERE SUCCESSFUL IN SEVERAL STATES: UTAH; NEBRASKA; MARYLAND; WASHINGTON; AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS. AUTISM SPEAKS' FEDERAL ADVOCACY EFFORTS RESULTED IN THE PASSAGE OF THE AUTISM CARES ACT, WHICH AUTHORIZES $1.3 BILLION IN FEDERAL FUNDING FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH. THAT INCLUDES, FOR THE FIRST TIME, A FOCUS ON ISSUES SURROUNDING THE TRANSITION TO ADULTHOOD. IN ADDITION, AFTER A NEARLY DECADE-LONG CAMPAIGN BY AUTISM SPEAKS AND ITS PARTNERS, THE ACHIEVING A BETTER LIFE EXPERIENCE ACT (ABLE) WAS SIGNED INTO LAW. IT IS WIDELY CONSIDERED THE MOST SIGNIFICANT DISABILITY-RELATED LEGISLATION SINCE THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA) OF 1990. ABLE ALLOWS STATES TO CREATE TAX-PREFERRED SAVINGS ACCOUNTS -- MUCH LIKE 529 COLLEGE-SAVINGS ACCOUNTS -- FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, GENERALLY WITHOUT LOSING ELIGIBILITY FOR MEDICAID, SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME AND OTHER BENEFITS.

Return Reference Explanation
FORM 990, SCHEDULE C, PART II-B, LINE 1 IN 2014, AUTISM SPEAKS' STATE ADVOCACY INITIATIVES FOR AUTISM INSURANCE REFORM WERE SUCCESSFUL IN SEVERAL STATES: UTAH; NEBRASKA; MARYLAND; WASHINGTON; AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS. AUTISM SPEAKS' FEDERAL ADVOCACY EFFORTS RESULTED IN THE PASSAGE OF THE AUTISM CARES ACT, WHICH AUTHORIZES $1.3 BILLION IN FEDERAL FUNDING FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH. THAT INCLUDES, FOR THE FIRST TIME, A FOCUS ON ISSUES SURROUNDING THE TRANSITION TO ADULTHOOD. IN ADDITION, AFTER A NEARLY DECADE-LONG CAMPAIGN BY AUTISM SPEAKS AND ITS PARTNERS, THE ACHIEVING A BETTER LIFE EXPERIENCE ACT (ABLE) WAS SIGNED INTO LAW. IT IS WIDELY CONSIDERED THE MOST SIGNIFICANT DISABILITY-RELATED LEGISLATION SINCE THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA) OF 1990. ABLE ALLOWS STATES TO CREATE TAX-PREFERRED SAVINGS ACCOUNTS -- MUCH LIKE 529 COLLEGE-SAVINGS ACCOUNTS -- FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, GENERALLY WITHOUT LOSING ELIGIBILITY FOR MEDICAID, SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME AND OTHER BENEFITS.
