The ATP has crated an online community on NING, a private social networking site, as a resource to those families that have graced our program and the field of autism research with a tissue donation – a Gift of Hope.  Within this web-based social network, you will find members of the ATP science program as well as families of those who have lost a loved one and have committed themselves to our mission.  We are providing this resource so that we may stay in contact with you and your family, inform you of the contributions to autism research that your donation has made, as well as provide a forum so that you may talk to others within this unique group of individuals and to our staff. 

Autism Speaks and the ATP have made great efforts to secure this online community and in particular this exclusive, invitation only group.  Within this selected group of ATP families, you may communicate either publicly as a group or privately between selected friends or our staff.

We look forward to seeing you and hope that you find this resource helpful.
