Sometimes it's taking on a new challenge. Sometimes it's finding your voice. Sometimes it's showing up every day and refusing to let obstacles stand in your way.

At the Ted Lindsay Foundation, we're honored to meet incredible individuals with autism whose strength, determination, and perseverance inspire everyone around them. That's why we created the Ted Lindsay Foundation Courage Award—to recognize and celebrate those remarkable individuals and their stories.

Do you know someone who embodies courage? Someone who has overcome challenges, achieved something meaningful, or continues to inspire others through their resilience and spirit?

We'd love to hear their story.
