   Autism is the fastest-growing developmental disability in the United
   States

   -

   Autism costs the nation over $126 billion per year, but receives less

Autism Speaks U UMD was established for the purpose of raising Autism
awareness to our campus and community, raising funds for Autism research,
and advocating for political reform for Autism policy issues pertaining to
diagnosis and treatment.

We will be discussing future events and opportunities to get involved at

board member positions open! This is a great opportunity if you want some
leadership experience!
