My son is autistic and last year I participated in two events--one super-sprint triathlon to raise funds for Autism Speaks and the Ride On for Autism Research (ROAR) to support Kennedy Krieger. Both were held in my neck of the woods, but I'd be surprised if you didn't have something in your area.
The ROAR event has an option for people who can't be there, and if you sign up for it you get a great shirt--you can sleep in for autism research and get a SNORE shirt. http://www.roar.kennedykrieger.org/Page.aspx?pid=206
The ROAR event was a lot of fun--lots of families out on the road, some even doing the longer distances.
You might check out the group Train 4 Autism : http://www.train4autism.org/site/app...zGrF&b=4293363 I've never heard of them before and am not sure how they work, but they have multiple chapters in California and might be able to get you hooked up with something in your area.
