This morning, I talked to Dr. Stephen Michael Kanne, executive director of the Thompson Center.  With support from the Thompson Foundation for Autism, the Thompson Center works to improve the lives of individuals and families affected by autism and neurodevelopmental disorders through world-class programs that integrate research, clinical service delivery, education and public policy.

“It’s in the Cards” seventh annual gala is the Thompson Foundation for Autism’s largest annual fundraising event.  The gala is coming to the Four Seasons St. Louis on Thursday, May 16.  Members of the community are invited to join honorary chair St. Louis Cardinals Manager, Mike Matheny.  For information on the gala and the Thompson center, click here.
