Symptoms are usually detected during the first three years of life. Autism affects about 1 in every 166 persons in the United States, however, there is currently very little information about autism. Cure Autism Now (CAN) is a non-profit organization dedicated to increasing the quantity and quality of autism research in order to find better treatments. If you are looking for a way to help, there are several ways, including: a purchase of silver bracelets organization, participating in a WALK NOW event, becoming a corporate partner, starting your fundraising, or doing a monetary donation.

For an extra donation, you may also receive five additional silver charms with different designs (a boy, a girl, a cross, a sign of peace, and a star of David). This charming silver bracelet was designed by actress Rene Russo, an honorary committee member of CAN. The charm bracelet is also available in gold along with other accessories that will help benefit CAN with your purchase.
