I found a nice article of another person making a point to help autism:

“Anthony Parascondola, a high school senior, was among those recently honored for his support, volunteering and fundraising efforts for Autism Speaks, and especially for his dedication to the children with autism whom he coaches on the ice-hockey team the New Jersey Dare Devils.

Luminaries from the hockey world, such as Rod Gilbert and Bobby Nystrom, attended Face-off for a Cure, a dinner gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan co-hosted by the National Hockey League, Autism Speaks — an organization that raises money to fight autism — and the Gillen Brewer School. Parascondola was recognized during the reception.”
