> Dear Chris,
> Marcus Institute and Autism Speaks is getting ready for its annual
> signature event, the Georgia Walk for Autism on May 19th in Atlantic
> Station. I am planning to be a part of that Walk and I am asking you to

> Autism is a complex brain disorder that often inhibits a person's
> ability to communicate, respond to surroundings, or form relationships
> with others. First identified more than 50 years ago, autism is
> typically diagnosed by the age of two or three. Autism affects people of
> all racial, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds.
>
>
> Few disorders are as devastating to a child and his or her family. While
> some people with autism are mildly affected, most people with the
> condition will require lifelong supervision and care and have
> significant language impairments. Many children with autism will never
> be able to tell their parents they love them.
>
> Currently, the causes of autism are unknown and there are no specific
> medical treatments or cure. Physicians have no blood test or scan that
> can definitively diagnose the disorder. As such, the diagnosis of autism
> is based solely upon observations of behavior. Despite increasing
> national interest and high prevalence, autism research is one of the
> lowest funded areas of medical research by both public and private
> sources.
>
> Whatever you can give will help! I greatly appreciate your support and
> will keep you posted on my progress.
>
> Please forward this to anyone that you think would like to donate.
> Sincerely,
> Christine Fowler
