Being a former teacher who worked closely with kids with autism, I know I&amp;#39;m far from alone in wanting to raise funds to overcome this.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The third annual Art Now for Autism will be held in October 2009. Artists are being asked to donate a small work of art which will be sold online in October 2009 to coincide with the Washington, DC Walk Now for Autism. All money raised will go to Autism Speaks.&amp;nbsp;For further information on how to donate art, participate in the sale, and support autism research visit&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.artnowforautism.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;#39;book antiqua&amp;#39;, palatino;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;#39;book antiqua&amp;#39;, palatino;"&gt;http://www.artnowforautism.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;#39;book antiqua&amp;#39;, palatino;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;#39;book antiqua&amp;#39;, palatino;"&gt;/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
