    Baltimore Sunday, October 14, 2018 On October 14, I get to go to the Autism Speaks Walk! It will be so much FUN and such a SPECIAL day for my family and me! Autism Speaks Walks bring the community together to have fun and raise money that goes towards helping people with autism of all ages with lots of different strengths and abilities! Autism Speaks Walks take place all across the United States – over 70 different places! My Walk will be at Johnny Unitas Stadium at Towson University! Johnny Unitas Stadium is home of the Towson Tigers football team! I will drive to the Walk with my family. I will make sure to hold hands with someone when we walk from our parking spot to the registration tent! When I get to the Walk, I will see lots of tents, banners and people. When we get to the Walk, we will go to the registration table. There might be a line because lots of people will be there to turn in the donations they raised to help people with autism. Once we get signed in, it’s time to have fun! At the registration table, all of the Walk participants will get a very cool blue pom pom! The pom pom is a sensory- friendly way to “clap” and show excitement without the noise! Some people will get t-shirts in line if they raise a certain amount of money from their family and friends for the Autism Speaks Walk! My Walk might even have 2,000 people there! That is a LOT of people who are getting together to have fun and help out.
