> More than 1.5 million Americans have been diagnosed with autism. 1

in every 166 children born will be diagnosed and that number grows

every day. Autism is an epidemic. It costs the United States alone

over $13 billion every year. Autism is the third most common

developmental disability following mental retardation and cerebral

palsy yet, it receives less than 15% of the federal funding of these

other childhood disorders.

autism research. It is an organization of parents, clinicians and

scientists dedicated to finding answers, biological treatments,

prevention and a cure for autism and related disorders. In addition

to accelerating and funding critical autism research, CAN is

committed to broadening awareness and understanding of a disease that

has been virtually ignored for over forty years. Cure Autism Now

believes that early detection, prevention, treatment and eventually a

cure for autism are possible. It is only a matter of time, energy,

commitment and money.
