Support the Thompson Center

The Thompson Center relies on the generosity of individuals and organizations to maintain a high level of quality care for our current patients as we change the future of autism via education, training, and research.

Every gift makes a difference to the thousands of families helped here at the Center and the millions of people affected by autism spectrum disorder.
