Autism151
150 stories of hope, strength and inspiration. Autism151 focuses on the healing power of community by creating a forum where families can share stories of strength, inspiration and success with one another, giving them even more reasons to hope.
Autism 151 was named because 1 in 150 children are diagnosed with autism. Until now, there have been few resources for those living with autism to come together as a community to share ideas, resources and most importantly--success. Autism151 is about inspiring families with stories of success. It is a vital resource reminding families that they are not alone in their struggles and helping them celebrate their achievements. The campaign’s goal was to gather 150 inspirational stories by April 30, 2009 and post them online. Stories include real life videos of children and families who are thriving in spite of autism and even some that have conquered it, and aiming to gather thousands of stories throughout the year.
