#18 Being Charitable

I chose Autism Speaks charity, and Autism Speaks is a charity that helps with autism. They mention that there are several types of autistic disorders that are all considered as ASD. ASD stands for Autistic Spectrum Disorder. They help find ways to make any improvements they can with our society and autism. They also even have a page that talks about autism on their site, and how they’ve tried to find the causes of autism. They mention research that has been done with autism, especially the most recent.


This charity is important to me, or meaningful to me because it goes with my interests, and I have autism. I’ve always been interested in anything to do with autism. But, I don’t know if that’s because I’m autistic, or I don’t know the reason for it. If i see anything that mentions autism, I find it very interesting and fascinating. It makes me want to get caught up on it, zone out, and spending a lot of time and thinking on it. Autism in general is very interesting and fascinating to me, so knowing about this charity Autism Speaks and how they try to help with autistic people, it is very meaningful to me. It means a lot and it makes me want to pick that charity over charities that can match my other interests.

Autism stuff is a lot to me like how singing and music are. I find it really meaningful that there are people to try to help with society and everything with people who have the same diagnosis as me, and similar ones that fall into the same category. I say it that way because my type of autism that I have is Asperger syndrome. But, it even said that Asperger syndrome also is considered as an Autistic Spectrum Disorder now. It’s still a form of autism, even though I’m high functioning compared to other types of autism.
