Florida’s First Choice for Autism Support

Welcome to our Online
Fundraising Store.

Your support of this fundraiser enables the Center for Autism and Related Disabilities at the University of South Florida (CARD-USF), through the Autism Services Fund, to expand our networking opportunities, access to known experts, and special events that educate and empower individuals with autism, families, and professionals right here in the community!

Autism is a lifelong neurological disability that affects a person’s ability to communicate, understand language, play and socially interact with others. The first signs of autism usually appear as developmental delays before age three. Autism is classified as a developmental disability because it interferes with the typical rate and patterns of childhood development.

Nobody knows what causes autism. Some scientists believe there is a biological cause that affects the working of the brain, but this has not been proven. It is possible there are many factors that could interact with one another which could cause different characteristics in each individual with autism. Researchers are working hard to find the cause(s) of autism.

Autism Spectrum Disorder occurs in about 1 of every 150 births, and four times more often in boys than girls. Families of all racial, ethnic and social backgrounds anywhere in the world are affected.

With a child diagnosed with autism every 20 minutes, we know we have a lot of work to do. CARD provides the expertise, now you can provide support through something you’re doing already-enjoying magazines! Thank you!
