EVERYONE DESERVES TO FEEL ACCEPTED
NEXT’s mission is simple: to build programs that enhance the lives of autistic adults. With more than 5.4 million autistic adults in the U.S., these programs are vital to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to lead a productive and fulfilling life.
When you support our “Everyone deserves to feel … heard, loved, fulfilled, accepted” campaign, you will have an immediate and meaningful impact on the lives of autistic adults, their families, and their support systems. And remember, someone you know loves someone with autism.
