Author: Autism at Face Value

Autism at Face Value is a 501c 3 Nonprofit organization founded by Dave Kot in 2013. Best known for publishing Face Value Comics featuring the first hero with Autism.

Many valuable interventions and resources are not covered by insurance. Autism at Face Value aims to focus fundraising efforts to provide grants to help with these out of pocket costs.
