Yesterday, we had the honor of helping recognize Jonah Zimiles, founder of Words Maplewood's Bookstore for his extraordinary contributions to the autism community.

Autism New Jersey Executive Director Suzanne Buchanan joined fellow leaders and partners on the benefit committee for the Autism Science Foundation Autism Leadership Luncheon. Together with colleagues from Autism Science Foundation, NEXT for AUTISM, Spectrum360, and the National Council on Severe Autism, we celebrated the individuals and organizations advancing autism research, advocacy, and support.

We are grateful to be part of a community working together to create meaningful impact for autistic individuals and their families.
