PHOENIX - illiNews -- How does Phoenix, Ariz. maintain the title of being the "most autism friendly city" in the world?
To answer that question, you need to explore the constantly expanding Arizona network of autism resources and organizations dedicated to helping those diagnosed live vibrant and fulfilling lives. The innovative work done by groups such as Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center (SARRC), First Place Arizona, community partners like MC Companies, Autism Speaks and most recently Visit Mesa are all dedicated to ensuring that Arizona is a thriving, supportive and inclusive community for people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their families.
This is why MC Companies chose to partner with SARRC and Autism Speaks for the annual Autism Speaks Walk in partnership with SARRC. Now in its 14th year, MC Companies is proud to be part of a growing event that touches families around the state each year in October.
Funds raised during the event go to the research efforts conducted by SARRC and Autism Speaks. Funds support innovative research projects like this five-year study, which recently concluded, and was conducted by SARRC's Research Department. In the SARRC-led study, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, the research team was able to lower an ASD diagnosis three years earlier than age reported by CDC.
