“I have a long-standing relationship with Autism Speaks. I’ve been supporting them for many, many years now. I have a personal connection and so I’m just so thrilled that Lindt wants to encourage this partnership and use their voice and mine-our collective voice to spread awareness. That’s the only way you really create change.”

When asked what she hopes to see Autism Speaks accomplish in the near future, she said: “Autism is still something we know very little about, and I think in 20 years or 30 years we’ll look back and understand that we were just in the baby stages of even knowing what the word “autism” means. So right now it’s a very broad category and I think it’s about really narrowing that down and figuring how to treat every single person with autism as an individual.”

In addition to working with Autism Speaks, the actress has a movie, Scout that’s coming out, directed by Laurie Weltz, which she’s excited about because she’s “a huge supporter of female directors, including up-and-coming female directors.”

She’s also found a way to mix film with her other passion: animals! In addition to 4 dogs and 3 cats, Nikki also has two horses, which she sometimes shows off in cute Instagram snaps. “I did a film last year called The Sunday Horse which is actually where my horses came from, funny enough.”
