In addition to the walk, we will have a Resource Fair, family-fun activities, and music! About Strides for Autism: Strides for Autism is SCAS’s signature fund-raising and awareness walk. The Upstate and Midlands events are the first two of four statewide walks that take place each year. The walks are among various activities that benefit the organization and the families it serves. SCAS is the only statewide agency advocating for children and adults with autism spectrum disorders and their families, while also providing assistance and resources. SCAS promotes, educates and raises awareness that one in every 110 births in the U.S. is a child with autism, and provides support for South Carolina-based research and development. Most importantly, SCAS works to ensure that the 42,000 individuals with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) living in South Carolina have opportunities to achieve a quality of life comparable to their peers. Monies raised for South Carolina Autism Society stay in South Carolina and go towards family supports, education, advocacy, and South Carolina-based research. Registration and other information for Strides for Autism, along with information about autism and SCAS, is available at the event Web site,
