Doug and Laurie started the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism to help other people and families with autism have access to the same opportunities, therapies and programs to live life to the fullest.
Our mission is to help people and families with autism live life to the fullest. Our Vision is focused in a world where people with autism lead productive lives where they are included, respected, and actively engaged in their communities.
