Here's what people are saying about the Autism Science Foundation!

Dr. Tom Insel, Director of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH): “The Autism Science Foundation plays an important role in moving the science forward. It has quickly become a valued collaborator in the public-private partnership described in the federal strategic plan for autism research.”

Dr. Judy Palfrey, President of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP):  "As we attempt to understand the causes of autism and develop optimal treatment programs, it is critical that parents have access to information that is based upon the best medical evidence. The Autism Science Foundation’s work helps to improve the lives of children diagnosed with autism." 

Dr. Fred Volkmar, Director of the Yale Child Study Center:  "The proliferation of autism groups offering questionable advice over the internet is staggering.  We feel confident referring our families to the Autism Science Foundation. Autism Science Foundation.org is a website parents can trust to offer solid, scientifically based information."

Dr. Ed Trevathan, Centers for Disease Control:  "New discoveries in neuroscience, genetics, and epigenetics offer hope for improving the lives of people with autism. The Autism Science Foundation has emerged as a leading voice as we all strive to follow where the science leads." 

Lauren Rimland (Mother of 15-year-old Jake):  “Autism Science Foundation is funding the science that leads to real answers. There are many autism groups asking for support, but I want to know for sure that my donation will fund the best research possible. My son deserves nothing less.”

Dr. Paul Offit, Author of “Autism’s False Prophets”, Chief of Infectious Diseases at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia:  “The launch of the Autism Science Foundation marks the beginning of a new chapter in autism research; one with a deep and unwavering commitment to an evidence-based agenda. ASF is the best of all worlds: parents and scientists coming together to support research that stands the best chance of making a difference.”
