Autism is the fastest growing developmental disorder, affecting 1 in 88 children born today.
If you’d like to help come out to the 5th Annual Topping Brothers Invitational, which is being held to raise money for autism funding and research. It’s happening on Nov. 10 at TPC Valencia, 26550 Heritage View Lane, Valencia, and it will feature a rousing round of golf, as well as breakfast and prizes.
And it’s an equal opportunity malady – it occurs in all racial, ethnic and social groups, although it is four times more likely to strike boys than girls. Despite the high prevalence and growing health care costs associated with caring for a child with autism, autism research receives less than 5 percent of the research funding of many other, less prevalent, childhood diseases.
Money from the eventl will go to Autism Speaks, the nation’s largest autism science and advocacy organization, dedicated to funding research into the causes, prevention, treatments and a cure for autism.
