Autism Science Foundation is an incredible organization dedicated to funding scientifically-based autism research. The organization provides support, information and resources to the autism community. It's an honor to work with this organization and their amazing team.
I started working with ASF as a volunteer this spring and am currently in an internship position. It has been amazing to see just how much a small organization can accomplish when everyone involved is as dedicated and passionate about their work as the people at ASF are. Even when I am just doing clerical work, I find myself learning a ton about autism research -- when you're sorting through the hundreds of scientific articles published by ASF affiliates and grant recipients you really get a sense of just how much ASF has been able to contribute to the growing body of scientific knowledge on autism and neurodevelopment. In addition to their organizational and scientific expertise, Alison, Alycia and the rest of the team are just generally great people as well.

The Autism Science Foundation is an incredible organization comprised of a passionate team of individuals. Their unrelenting commitment to supporting early-career autism science researchers--placing an emphasis on this as COVID-19 shut down college and university labs--is truly exceptional and critical to ensuring those with autism spectrum disorder are able to live more fulfilling lives.
ASF is an amazing charity. The team works tirelessly to carry out its mission and frequently shares how the research projects it supports are making an impact. Their impact is widespread, from national governing councils on autism to local community events. ASF supports parents on every step of the autism journey and seeks to arm them with scientific resources to help their children succeed, in addition to funding the science that can improve their lives. In an arena where there has been so much information, particularly around vaccines, ASF is staunchly pro-science and makes strong efforts to clear up the misconceptions that are so common today.
An incredible organization that is laser-focused on results for individuals and families. ASF is dedicated to raising money for life-saving and life-changing scientific research. And their track record is amazing: in just over a decade, they have awarded nearly $3 million in funding to scientists doing autism research. I am a proud annual participant in the annual Wall Street Rides FAR bike event that raises money for ASF. The turnout and enthusiasm are inspiring, and growing, largely because the riders understand they are raising money for such a great foundation.
ASF is truly an inspiring group. Their team of four manages to accomplish an amazing amount, helping to advance the most promising research and tirelessly advocating for autism families. And as they like to say, science is literally their middle name, which is so so critical these days especially.
ASF does a terrific job of focusing on and promoting the science behind autism. It’s no secret that there is a great deal of misinformation out there. That’s why it’s so critical to fund real research, which is what ASF does, and it does so with tremendous efficiency.
ASF does incredible work to advance critical autism science and to support the entire autism community. Their fierce advocacy has been especially apparent during the pandemic, as they quickly stepped up to support autism scientists through their COVID-19 grants, and developed numerous resources to support autism families who were struggling as their routines were upended and isolation took its toll. Their last two Days of Learnings pivoted to virtual events, which broke attendance records and addressed the most important issues on the minds of families, including but not limited to pandemic-related challenges. ASF is also a firm believer in the power of science to help understand the origins of autism, so diagnoses can be made more quickly and people can live more independent, fulfilling lives. The entire autism community benefits from ASF's efforts. They are a fabulous organization.

The ASF is an incredible organization run by some amazingly selfless, dedicated individuals. I have been involved with the Autism Science Foundation for a few years now, participating in a soccer tournament called Scoring Goals for Autism. And our family was selected to represent the Recipe for Hope 2017 campaign so I got to work closely with some of the staff and they were just terrific.
The Autism Science Foundation (ASF) is exactly what I look for in a nonprofit. It has clear goals and a great team of dedicated individuals. I know my donations are well-spent and care for with ASF. Thank you for all that you do!
ASF is really one of the most well run, rigorous and impactful non profits I have worked with, and they have become a leader in the autism field. Alison Singer brings together experts in advocacy, science and education in autism, and through her work the organization has funded cutting edge research studies, hosted dynamic symposia on autism research and has inspired students to pursue careers in autism through their fellowships. With very limited funds and manpower, ASF has accomplished more in the autism field than organizations with 10x the budget and staff. This success speaks directly to the excellent personnel that they employ and the leadership of Alison Singer. I have sat ( and still sit) on the board of many non profits, so I understand the challenges around running these organizations, which makes me even more impressed by ASF's success.
The Autism Science Foundation has been a wonderful organization to work with professionally. It funds meaningful and groundbreaking translational research within the field of Autism that will enable us to better understand the condition and develop interventions to better serve those with ASD.
