LANSDOWNE, Pennsylvania (WPVI) According to data collected in 2016, approximately 1 in 54 children in the United States was diagnosed with autism.
In Lansdowne, Delaware County, entrepreneur Alexis Wood looks to raise awareness and join the fight in autism research, one paintbrush at a time. In 2018, we did have a painting company called Base Painting where we did residential and commercial painting, said Wood, owner and founder of Autsome Brushes. That was the same year that our daughter Milan was diagnosed with autism.
Autsome Brushes opened its doors in September of 2020, merging Wood s vision and her husband Eric s painting background to create an in-person resource hub for parents who may share the same spectrum.
