The proceeds from the sale of such items are distributed to programs that help people diagnosed with autism and other related pervasive development disorders.  The projects sponsored by Chocolates for Autism may include serving the individual directly, offering family support and training, promoting community awareness and sensibility and funding research projects.  Chocolates for Autism works mostly with the local, South Florida community given that we are a Miami-based organization.  However, we are open to working with other organizations that help fight autism.
