Diabetes is the most expensive chronic condition in the nation.

Friend,

The financial burden of diabetes is staggering. People with diagnosed diabetes account for one of every four health care dollars spent in the U.S. On average, their medical costs are 2.6 times higher than people without diabetes. This includes direct costs such as office visits, medications, and supplies, as well as indirect costs like productivity loss or the inability to work.

The American Diabetes Association^® can make progress for people living with diabetes with research, programs, and advocacy. But we need your help.

Donate Today

Here are a few ways your donation can make a difference:

Fund groundbreaking research to find better treatments and ultimately a cure for diabetes.

Provide education and programs to empower people with diabetes to manage their condition effectively.

Advocate for access to care to ensure people with diabetes have the resources they need.

Diabetes affects almost every family in America and is a costly crisis we can't ignore. Your support is urgent so we can continue this lifesaving work to put an end to diabetes and all its burdens, once and for all.

Autism Is Capability

The Autism Is campaign acknowledges that no two Autistic individuals have the same lived experience. Autism is both personal and collective—an identity, a community, a culture, and a way of life. It comes with strengths and struggles, moments of joy and challenge, and everything in between.

Throughout April, we're sharing stories that celebrate the diversity of the Autism experience.

Voices of Autism: Faith's Story

"We often forget that many of the most brilliant minds in history were like us—Autistic or disabled in some way—and they built the world around us."

- Faith J., Individual with Autism.

Read her full story below.

"Autism does not mean I am incapable. It does not mean I am unintelligent. It does not mean I am a burden or that my neurological differences make me less than. Autism is simply a different neurological reality—a beautiful part of what it means to be wholly and completely myself.

Autism is an infinite loop of endless possibilities, a tapestry of limitless potential. Being Autistic, to me, means I am not confined to one thing. I have endless roads I can travel. I can see the world in ways others cannot and never will.

I am like a block of wood—given time and the right tools, it can be carved into something beautiful: a shield, a house, a strong foundation. Those with Autism are like clay, capable of being molded into extraordinary parts of society. We often forget that many of the most brilliant minds in history were like us—Autistic or disabled in some way—and they built the world around us.

Autism is a tapestry of limitless beauty and potential that only fools refuse to see. We are important to society. You only need to let us emerge, with compassion and support, to become some of the most successful people. Disbelief, fear-mongering, and ignorance will not help us.

My statement—what Autism means to me—is simple: I am capable. And so are the many others who are Autistic."

The Autism Is campaign is shaped by stories like Faith's—amplifying the voices and lived experiences of Autistic individuals. We want to hear what Autism Is to you.
