Talk About Curing Autism (TACA) is a nonprofit advocacy organization founded in 2000 and based in Newport Beach, California. TACA provides information, resources, and support to families affected by autism. TACA aims to reduce the lag time between autism diagnosis, followed by effective treatments, and endeavors to strengthen the autism community by connecting families and professionals who can help.

In September, 2007, TACA announced the appointment of its new national spokesperson, Jenny McCarthy, whose son Evan was diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder.[1][2][3] Evan's evident recovery from autistic symptoms is described in his mother's concurrently released fourth book, Louder than Words – A Mother’s Journey in Healing Autism.

In collaboration with Thoughtful House, TACA provided thirty medical treatment scholarships each year, 2005 and 2006, to children affected by autism.
