Assemblyman Dave McDonough recently spoke at the kick-off of Autism Speaks on Long Island. While at the event, Assemblyman McDonough also had the pleasure of presenting the group with a citation for their hard work and dedication to this worthy cause.

Since its founding in 2005, Autism Speaks has grown into the nation's largest autism science and advocacy organization, dedicated to funding research into the causes, prevention, treatments and cure for autism; increasing awareness of autism spectrum disorders; and advocating for the needs of individuals with autism and their families.
