The mission of the Xavier DeGroat Autism Foundation is to create and promote opportunities for people with autism through advocacy, education, economic opportunities, and humanitarian efforts.
We focus on achieving equality for those on the autism spectrum in these three areas:
HYDRA
Economic Equality
Those with autism are less likely to be employed, but they could offer new insights and skills that are not present to those without autism.
SANTORINI
Social Equality
People on the autism spectrum are treated with prejudice in their everyday lives, from bullying to harassment to simply being underestimated.
MYKONOS
Political Equality
Even with strong legislation, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), there is much more to be give those with autism appropriate representation.
Our Focus:
EQUALITY FOR THOSE ON THE SPECTRUM
