My name is Paul Morris. I was diagnosed with autism at age 2 & was nonverbal until age 5. Today, I live alone, work two jobs & am a proud self-advocate. I am a strong supporter of the Autism Science Foundation, & am the co-chair of their annual Wall Street Rides FAR 5K family trail walk.

I am also a life-long college basketball fan. This year, in celebration of March Madness, I am raising money for the Autism Science Foundation, & its mission to support autism research. Your donation will help fund important scientific research that can help future generations of individuals with autism-like myself.

A question-and-answer session will be held on August 19th at 12 p.m. ET to review the goals of the Profound Autism Pilot Grant RFA and will include tips on writing a strong application. This Q&A is free, but you must register in advance. Please register here.
