Talk About Curing Autism (TACA) is a 501(c) organization founded in 2000 and based in Irvine, California by Lisa Ackerman when her son was diagnosed with autism. TACA provides information, resources, and support to families affected by autism. TACA has been critiziced for his support of unscientific based theories about the causes and treatment of austism.

National spokesperson
In September 2007, TACA announced the appointment of its new national spokesperson, Jenny McCarthy, whose son Evan Asher was diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. Evan's recovery from autistic symptoms is described in McCarthy's book, Louder than Words – A Mother’s Journey in Healing Autism, published on September 17, 2007.

In 2008, TACA and Jenny McCarthy ended their relationship.

Pacific Life Foundation Grant
In January 2009, TACA received a $300,000 grant from the Newport Beach-based Pacific Life Foundation. TACA launched three new programs for Orange County, California families including a Spanish-language program, the addition on an in house advocate to provide education, training and support for families, and scholarships that would allow families to procure independent assessments for their children. All of these programs are offered at no charge to families affected by families.

As a result, TACA now has a Spanish-language section of their website, En Español, which is a resource for Spanish-speaking parents of children with autism regardless of their location.

Criticism
TACA has been subject to criticism by a number of scientists and medical professionals for his support of the claims, against the scientific consensus, that the childhood vaccination is related to the development of autism.

TACA had argued that there has been insufficient research into the link between the rise in the number of children diagnosed with autism and mass-vaccination programs. There have, however, been a number of peer-reviewed studies and meta-analyses which have shown no correlation between vaccine administration and autism diagnosis.

TACA has also been criticized for his support of unproven treatments of autims like special die
