Beyond the Spectrum is sharing a holiday assistance opportunity that may benefit families raising children with autism.
The Autism Spectrum Disorder Foundation (ASDF) is preparing to open applications for its **2026 Holiday Gift Card Program**, which provides additional support to families during the holiday season.
From 2023 to 2025, ASDF provided $50,000 in gift cards to families raising autistic children.
**Important Dates:**
**Applications Open:** November 2, 2026
**Applications Close:** November 16, 2026
**How to Apply:**
Applications must be completed online at www.myasdf.org.
**Important Information:**
- Applications are accepted online only.
- Autism documentation is not required to apply but will be required if selected.
- Recipients are selected randomly.
- ASDF works with autism organizations across the country to help distribute gift cards to families in need.
**A Note from Beyond the Spectrum**
We are not affiliated with ASDF and do not manage or distribute gift cards through this program. We are simply sharing this information as a community resource to help families learn about opportunities that may provide additional support.
At Beyond the Spectrum, we believe access to resources and information can make a meaningful difference for families navigating the autism journey.
**Please save this post, mark your calendar, and share it with families who may benefit.**
Sometimes, sharing a resource is the first step toward helping a family find the support they need.
