Background
Eddie's youngest grandson was diagnosed with Autism in February 2019. He spent many hours talking with his wife, Donna, and his daughter, Danielle, about Salvatore's autism and progress. Salvatore does not speak at this time but is very involved in all therapies. Eddie would want Autism Speaks to be his donation of choice as he wanted nothing more than for his youngest grandson to have a full and prosperous life.
