a year. Though there is no cure, autism is treatable and individuals with autism have tremendous potential.

"We are honored to team up with Pump It Up in launching an event that brings communities together to support each other and raise funds that will help families today," said Lee Grossman, President and CEO for the Autism Society of America.

Participating Pump It Up locations will also host open houses throughout April, free to the public, with donations encouraged. Many other locations are already signing up their bounce marathons for 2008 and ASA and PIU hope to reach 30 million bounces over the course of the year. Everyone is encouraged to get their "sock squads" together and bounce today. Visit http://www.bounceforautism.org for more information and details.

About Autism

Autism is a complex developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life and affects a person's ability to communicate and interact with others. Autism is defined by a certain set of behaviors and is a "spectrum disorder" that affects individuals differently and to varying degrees. There is no known single cause for autism, but increased awareness and funding can help families today.
