Recently, Interbay Rotary club made the decision to support autism with the focus on
children. Autism Spectrum Disorder is currently being diagnosed at the rate of 1/68
children today. We do not know what causes autism and no current cure exists. It costs
a family between 3-5 million dollars over their child’s lifespan. Yet, less than 5% of NIH
research dollars goes toward autism…far less than the 44% that goes to childhood
cancer or the 20% that funds childhood diabetes even though the prevalence of
autism is far greater.
The monies raised will be donated to two programs that help people touched by
autism spectrum disorder today, when families most need it. The Center for Autism
and Related Disabilities and the Applied Behavior Analysis Program at the University
of South Florida will be the recipients of the donations to continue their work in
delivering education, services and supports to children and their families.
