About The SUN News

Did you know that light travels from the Sun to Earth in eight and a half minutes? Did you know that the Sun’s volume is bigger than 1 million Earths? Some sources say that the Sun is an "ordinary" star. That's true in the sense that there are many others similar to it. Yet we all know that we couldn’t live without that one star that we call our Sun!

In naming our Gray Center SUN (Social Understanding Network), we are also aware of the comparisons that can be drawn to those galactic statistics previously mentioned. Our tens of millions of web visitors have logged on from more than 50 different countries, including: United States of America, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Singapore, China, Germany, Japan, Sweden, New Zealand, Ireland, Denmark, Hong Kong, Switzerland, Netherlands, France, Israel, Philippines, India, Thailand, Spain, Taiwan, Norway, Poland, South Africa, Brazil, Republic of Korea, Italy, Malaysia, Russian Federation, Belgium, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Portugal, Iceland, Greece, Austria, Turkey, Mexico, Jordan, Malta, Indonesia, Romania, Slovenia, Finland, Cote d'Ivoire, Egypt, Qatar, and Argentina. Each day our staff receives phone calls and e-mails from people all over the world!

At the touch of a button, our weekly SUN News articles are sent immediately to thousands of parents, grandparents, siblings, individuals with ASD, teachers, administrators, doctors, lawyers, therapists, friends, neighbors, and more. Each of you is doing your part to promote social understanding in your own corner of the world. (Sign up to receive SUN News, or follow the articles as they appear weekly on our blog--see above for both options).

Some may say that The Gray Center is an “ordinary” organization. Yet we have your support, and we think you’re extraordinary! With your help, since our inception in 1998, The Gray Center has continued to grow, change, and flourish. We have been able to produce new resources, grow our web site, develop new programs, and continue to provide information and support to people around the world.

We hope you’ll let us know how we can best meet your needs. Feel free to e-mail us or call anytime, and we’ll do our best to communicate with you in a timely manner.

And we hope you’ll consider making a donation to The Gray Center to enable us to continue to provide excellent services to people around the world. Together, we will continue to be a brightly shining SUN!
