About This Cause
Unlocking Autism is the second oldest national autism organization in the USA today and was founded in February 1999. We have been featured in national/international press, testified before Congress and state legislatures on our advocacy initiatives, assisted our ASD families in major natural disasters, operated a 24 hour hotline available for families for 18 years. Completely run by volunteers, note that all funds donated are spent on programming with extremely low overhead. Donations received go into our primary areas of education/awareness/policy work - OPNURIZ 2.0, Medicaid reform, Justice reform, Foster Care System reform and Disaster Plan awareness, as well as general autism issue awareness and educational programming. Our Open Your Eyes program (OPNURIZ 2.0) is launching in April 2021 to raise awareness regarding the treatable physical and mental health conditions present in individuals with ASD, and their family members. The program is designed to help physicians and researchers see autism differently and focus on treatments that will help ameliorate these conditions in patients with ASD. Unlocking Autism understands that a person's genetics and physical/mental/, as well as behavioral/emotional health are all housed in the same body. All of these can be impacted through macro-nutritional deficits (limited diet/inadequate nutrition) and micro-nutritional deficits (which can be addressed by utilizing co-factored/pre-metabolized dietary supplements designed to improve bioavailability despite genetic polymorphisms). With a focus on total body health, we have found that our families, and individuals, living with autism live lives that function more optimally, without changing the unique identity, gifts and perspectives that individuals with ASD offer the world.
