Make a difference for autistics in Minnesota by donating to AuSM

Autism is the fastest growing developmental disability in Minnesota. With a prevalence rate of 1 in 36 Minnesotans being autistic, the autism community is all of us – it’s your neighbors, your co-workers, your friends, and their families. As Minnesota’s first autism resource for over a half-century, AuSM serves the whole state, the whole spectrum, for the whole life.

You can build this community for autistics across Minnesota by donating today.

Become a fundraiser or make a donation to help provide social and recreation programs, mental health services, support groups, and so much more.

Who are you walking for?

Create your fundraising page and share who you’re walking for. At this year’s Steps for Autism, whether you’re fundraising in honor of your students, a family member, or even yourself, we invite you to share your story and join us on May 21 for a celebration of our autistic community!
