"As a grandmother of a gorgeous little boy with autism I am devoted to this cause," said Jacobs. "Join our group, "Team Spencer," on Oct. 7. In any case, be aware, show compassion and assist in any way you can to enable strides to be made in research and finding a cure.".
The goal of Autism Speaks is to change the future for all who struggle with autism spectrum disorders. The group is dedicated to funding global biomedical research into the causes, prevention, treatments, and cure for autism; to raise public awareness about autism and its effects on individuals, families and society and to bring hope to all who deal with the hardships of the disorder.
