I am an eleven-year-old with high-functioning autism. Recently my parents encouraged me to donate money to a few charities of my choice. It was a little bit difficult to choose because there are so many charities that I could give to that have so many great causes. The reason I gave to PACE is because their goal is to help all autistic people of all ages lead better lives. I have been very lucky; from a very young age I’ve got lots of help. But lots of autistic people aren’t nearly as lucky as me and therefore don’t get the help. That’s why I gave money to PACE, so that way they could reach out to more autistic people and give them a brighter future.
