The Autism Society Oakland County is holding a walk to raise funds, awareness and support for all those impacted by autism in our community.

Registration is $12 per person, children 5 and under are free. Walkers who have registered by April 8th will receive a t-shirt. The morning will feature: live music and a pre-walk stretch, a sensory area camp out, a craft area, temporary tattoos, gift bags and other family fun. Promoting employment, we are pleased to announce that micro-businesses operated by individuals with special needs will be selling their items or services, including music played by our own DJ Mikester!

We have seen a dramatic rise in the incidence of autism diagnosis. Our organization is run by volunteers, the majority of whom have children on the spectrum. With this unique understanding of the impact that autism has over a life span, we feel passionate about creating opportunities for an enviable life for all individuals with autism. We focus on ensuring that all individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have access to much needed services and supports, because behind every number is someone who needs help today.
