Tour de ASD Athletes

ASD Athletes is a 501c3 non-profit organization and we are very excited about our debut to the general public! We need your help as much as possible to spread the word about the cause behind our charity foundation, to promote and support physical activity opportunities for the ASD community. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are a brain disorder that affects communication skills, social skills, and learning ability. There is a wide range of athletic ability in this community and our goal is to give everyone the same opportunity to be active by providing a safe and supportive vehicle for reaching their potential.

"We believe in going beyond the Golden Rule and have adopted a Platinum Rule philosophy: Do unto others as they would have you do unto them."
