Chloe Lanier Supports Autism Awareness

The actress who brings borderline sociopath Nelle Benson Archer so vividly to life on General Hospital took to her Instagram account to alert her over 45,000 followers to a cause that is near and dear to her heart. She posted a stunning photo of herself — wearing blue — for a very good reason.

“Today, I #lightitupblue for my loved ones with autism. Right now, the Henry A Quinn foundation will match your donation (and mine) to @autismspeaks up to $100,000,” she wrote in the caption accompanying the photo. This is a chance for your donation to get more bang for the buck. The funds will do so much good.

“This money will go towards care grants which will help autism families and caregivers whose routines have been upended by #covid19 Assistance includes help with groceries, respite, therapy and medication. Please join me in lighting it up blue and by donating if you can. Every single dollar counts.”

The actress also ended her post with a wish for all who are reading her words. “I hope you all are staying safe and healthy. #autismawarenessmonth” And the actress knows of what she speaks when it comes to staying healthy.

She recently had her own brush with symptoms but she didn’t meet the criteria to be tested for the coronavirus. Luckily, she did recover.

Meanwhile, on the show, Nelle continues to make problems for Michael (Chad Duell) and the custody battle for Wiley is sure to heat up. Will Michael end up marrying Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) to try to show he can provide a stable home? Will Nelle find herself someone who can do the same? Stay tuned to find out.
