This is the online version of the National Autism Association, an organization dedicated entirely to people affected by autism and other neurological disorders. Its mission is to educate and empower families in this situation, while advocating on behalf of those who cannot fight for their own rights. Through this page, the NAA aims to communicate the society that autism is not a lifelong incurable genetic disorder, but one that is biomedically definable and treatable. According to the organization, it is necessary to raise public and professional awareness of environmental toxins as causative factors in neurological damage that often results in an autism or related diagnosis. The site contains abundant information about autism, including causes, effects, and alternatives of treatment. There is also a calendar where you can see events and project that are being developed, as well as a section called “Help for families” where you can make donations and give hope to the affected.
