 國(guó)外優(yōu)秀機(jī)構(gòu)介紹:ASA( Autism Society of America )

ASA is the oldest and largest grassroots organization within the autism community. Today, more than 120,000 members and supporters are connected through a working network of nearly 200 chapters nationwide.

The "Autism Society of America"(ASA) was founded in 1965 by Bernard Rimland, Ph.D. His book, Infantile Autism: The Syndrome and Its Implications for a Neural Theory of Behavior, was written in late 1964 and was one of the first of
its kind. In 1968, Ruth Sullivan, Ph.D. became the organization's first elected president. Over the last 40 years, the Society has grown from a handful of parents, into the leading source of information, research, and reference on autism. ASA is the oldest and largest grassroots organization within the autism community. Today, more than 120,000 members and supporters are connected through a working network of nearly 200 chapters nationwide. ASA membership continues to grow as more and more parents and professionals unite to form a collective voice representing the autism community.

ASA is dedicated to increasing public awareness about autism and the day-to-day issues faced by individuals with autism, their families and the professionals with whom they interact. The Society and its chapters share a common mission of providing information and education, and supporting research and advocating for programs and services for the autism community.

我是被這個(gè)課題折磨很久并曾受到很多誤解指責(zé)的人。在國(guó)內(nèi)無(wú)法獲得支持的最初時(shí)間里就只有找“美國(guó)自閉癥協(xié)會(huì)”（ASA）這個(gè)有十二萬(wàn)會(huì)員，全世界自閉癥組織里面“最大最早的組織”尋求幫助和支持了！

以治療為引導(dǎo)的研究項(xiàng)目(TGRI)

親愛的炳熇，

你可以幫忙改變自閉癥的過(guò)程

我寫信給你是有關(guān)我們所開展的最重大的項(xiàng)目，叫做以治療為引導(dǎo)的研究項(xiàng)目(TGRI)。TGRI是從茫無(wú)希望到治療的一個(gè)向前的巨大飛躍，有潛力結(jié)束“我們無(wú)法治療自閉癥”的說(shuō)法。

我們的目標(biāo)是籌募150萬(wàn)美元來(lái)起動(dòng)TGRI并支持我們的使命以幫助投資一個(gè)改革性的治療范例，為現(xiàn)在許多個(gè)人和家庭提供新的選擇。

TGRI是關(guān)于目前和如何的…而你如今的天賦讓這個(gè)有可能了。

不管這些已有的許多的療法和方法中不同之處如何，事實(shí)上我們能夠并且應(yīng)該馬上幫助人們。自閉癥已被歸為無(wú)法治愈及無(wú)法治療有許多年了。然而現(xiàn)今，我們摸索到它的很多結(jié)果性癥狀是慢性的，因此是可以治療的。因?yàn)橐恍┳蚤]癥的病征造成痛苦、苦楚并使生活受限，所以發(fā)明并改良治療方法是為醫(yī)師、科學(xué)家和決策者們的非常優(yōu)先要做的，并且構(gòu)成一條道德上的義務(wù)。

為了做這個(gè)，我們需要你的支持。感謝你支持ASA，我們改進(jìn)所有那些受自閉癥所侵襲人們的生活。

懷有感激和希望的

關(guān)于美國(guó)自閉癥協(xié)會(huì)(ASA)

從1965年成立以來(lái)，美國(guó)自閉癥協(xié)會(huì)(ASA)一直到現(xiàn)在都是在講究自閉癥人群的需要。ASA是自閉癥人群中最為廣泛認(rèn)可、最久的以及最大的落地生根的組織，有著12萬(wàn)多的成員和支持者，全美國(guó)有一個(gè)200多分會(huì)的網(wǎng)絡(luò)。通過(guò)設(shè)在馬里蘭州的Bethesda(伯西斯達(dá)市)的總部的努力，保證籌募到了比其它任何組織都多的用于自閉癥研究的資金。

Dear Binghe, You Can Help Change the Course of Autism

I am writing to you about one of the most significant initiatives we have ever undertaken called the "Treatment Guided Research Initiative" (TGRI). TGRI is a huge leap forward from hopelessness to treatment that has the potential to put
an end to the statement "We cannot treat autism".

Our goal is to raise $1.5 million dollars to launch TGRI and support our mission to help fund a transformational treatment paradigm providing new options for individuals and families now.

TGRI is about NOW and HOW...and your gift today makes this possible.

Regardless of the differences among the many treatments and approaches that already exist, the fact remains that we can and must help people now. For many years, autism has been characterized as incurable and untreatable. Today, however, we are finding that many of its resulting features are chronic and therefore treatable. Because some of autism's features cause pain, suffering and reduction of life options, making treatments optimal and available is a very high priority and constitutes a moral obligation for physicians, scientists and policy-makers.

In order to do this, we need your support. Thank you for supporting ASA as we improve the lives of all those affected by autism.

With gratitude and hope,

Lee Grossman

主題: An Autism Awareness message from ASA
 

DID YOU KNOW?

Over 1.5 million Americans are affected by autism.

U.S. rate of growth over the last decade:
Population: 13%
Non-autism-related disabilities: 16%
Autism: 173%

Today 50 families in America will find out that their child has autism.

Dear anbinghe,

National Autism Awareness Month is more than a month away, so why are we sending you this important message now? Because autism is a 365 day-a-year battle and we can\'t afford to let another day go by without making the public
aware of this growing epidemic. More than ever, we need your help. Please forward the Autism Awareness Ribbon and our message to your family, friends, and co-workers.

You can also help by getting involved with your local community ASA chapter, urging your local representatives to promote autism-related support and services, or making a contribution to ASA. For more information click here or
visit www.autism-society.org.

Together we can generate the much needed attention that people living with autism so desperately need, not only during the month of April, but year round.
Thank you in advance for your support.

Sincerely,

Lee Grossman
ASA President
