Pinning Down Autism

www.pinningdownautism.com

Pinning Down Autism began in December 2006 with members of the wrestling community who are personally affected by Autism.

Today, 1 in 150 individuals is diagnosed with Autism, a condition that was almost unheard of just a few years ago, and the incidence is ever increasing.

Our mission is to bring the collective strength of the wrestling community together in this battle that must be fought and won immediately.

By creating wrestling tournaments and other athletic activities for the cause, we also engage our youth in giving back to the community. In addition, those who have not seen the outstanding character and strength that is the people of wrestling, gain an understanding of our great sport, and how invaluable it is in the lives of those who participate.

“It is as though 1 in 150 of our children are being kidnapped”
- Bradley Whitford of The West Wing
