Families with Autism Helping Families with Autism

Our Mission

Harvard Kids
Some of our families have been told to put their child in an institution. We're hoping for Harvard.
Talk About Curing Autism (TACA) provides information, resources, and support to families affected by autism. For families who have just received the autism diagnosis, TACA aims to speed up the cycle time from the autism diagnosis to effective treatments. TACA helps to strengthen the autism community by connecting families and the professionals who can help them, allowing them to share stories and information to help people with autism be the best they can be.

TACA Marketplace

Support TACA through purchasing items available from our generous supporters. Each purchase benefits TACA and provides support to families living with autism.
