Stories of Autism

Awareness, Acceptance, Inclusion

Stories of Autism is a non-profit organization based in Woodinville, WA. Its mission is to promote awareness of the epidemic rise in autism spectrum disorder diagnosis, most recently estimated at one in every ninety-one children! Through exhibiting portraits of individuals with autism spectrum disorders along with their stories of challengers and milestones, Stories of Autism helps those with the disorder to be welcomed and supported in their communities while being afforded the opportunities reach their life’s potential. Stories of Autism will soon be a national effort and eventually will become global in its reach with the help of other photographers while including photography by people on the autism spectrum. Supporters include many of the top and high profile businesses and corporations in the Seattle area.

Now we're asking you to join the long list of supporters for increased autism awareness.
