We are so grateful for our Visionary Sponsor, ARIA (Aligning Research to Impact Autism)! 🐝💛

Because of their support, our families get to spend this weekend doing what matters most: learning together, connecting with one another, and walking away with renewed hope for the road ahead.

ARIA is working to accelerate scientific discovery and create more therapeutic opportunities for people with profound autism and related neurodevelopmental conditions, including GRIN2B. Through their IMPACT Network, GRIN2B is one of just a handful of genetic conditions selected for a multisite clinical trial infrastructure spanning the US, UK, and Canada, building the tools and research pathways needed to move discoveries from the lab into real care faster. 🌟

Thank you, ARIA, for believing in our community and helping pave the way toward a brighter future for every GRIN2B family. 💛

What an incredible day in Naperville! 💛🧡💙💜

On June 13th, the Cure GRIN Foundation and GRIN2B Foundation joined forces for another unforgettable GRI Get Together in Naperville, Illinois. Seeing so many families connect, laugh, and make memories together is exactly why we do what we do.

A heartfelt thank you to Cure GRIN Foundation volunteer Sarah Johnson and GRIN2B Foundation President Liz Marfia-Ash for pouring their hearts into making this event so special. We are so proud to connect and collaborate on these events!

And none of this would be possible without the incredible generosity of our sponsor, GRIN Therapeutics. Their unwavering commitment to the GRIN community makes events like this a reality, and we are so deeply grateful. 🌟

💛 Have You Supported a Dependent Into Adulthood? Share Your Story With Simons Searchlight.

The transition to adulthood is more than a milestone. It is an emotional journey filled with questions, decisions, and change.

As young people with rare genetic conditions grow up, families navigate independence, care, and shifting roles in deeply personal ways.

If you’ve been through this, your experience can help others and guide what comes next. By sharing your story, you can:

✨ Support other families on a similar path
✨ Help shape practical, real-world resources
✨ Strengthen research across the lifespan

We have extraordinary news to share with our community. 📣🐝💛

GRIN2B-related disorders have been selected as one of the very first conditions prioritized by ARIA (Aligning Research to Impact Autism): a fully funded initiative bringing together leading researchers, clinicians, and patient communities to accelerate clinical trial readiness and therapeutic development for people with profound autism and related neurodevelopmental conditions.

For our families, this is a profound milestone. ARIA's focus on clinical trial readiness, biomarker development, and translational research means we could see meaningful impact for individuals living with GRIN2B today.

This moment didn't happen by accident. It happened because our community has spent years participating in registries and natural history studies, and building a powerful global network of families, clinicians, and scientists.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey. The future is arriving faster than we ever dreamed and we are so proud GRIN2B has a seat at the table. 🌟

As we work with the ARIA team in the coming weeks and months, we will share more about how families can participate in this initiative.
