First, simply tell people. Blog about it, talk about it, write stories. That will do the most for awareness- word of mouth.
For fundraising, autismwalk.org is a great place to start. You will be able to solicit donations online safely. If you want to sell something, a bake sale is always a great idea. Good luck!

I wish you had said what city you are in. Talk about it with everyone. let them know that you are looking for ways to get the word out. somebody will finally say "I know somebodywho can ______ . If the PGA tour comes thru your town see if they have a way to help charities. We just got on the San Antonio event and the really cool thing is that we get to keep 100%. They do the hard work. Hosting the event and paying the expenses. All we have to do is get the money.

There are some great ideas at Autism Speaks
http://www.autismspeaks.org
http://www.autismawareness.com/
If you are in the UK
http://www.autism-awareness.org.uk/index.asp
It is a great thing you are doing... the incidence of Autism is growing dramatically and is up to 1 in 160 children now.

I think that the Bubel/Aiken Foundation is a great place to start!
http://www.bubelaiken.org/
Here's their page on how to raise awareness: http://www.bubelaiken.org/Default.aspx?tabid=58
I hope this helps! I think that one of the most important things you can do is to model respect and tolerance for all people, including people with autism. We all think, learn, and act differently, and autism is part of that diversity. It's great that you want to help spread awareness!
