Pinning Down Autism: Members of the Wrestling Community Committed to Overcoming Autism

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.
Here are the facts about autism.

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

Funds raised by our efforts thus far have been contributed to Autism Speaks, a group that is committed to changing the future for all who struggle with autism spectrum disorders.
