Kids with autism can make incredible gains, even recovery, if provided the opportunity. This is a call to our legislators to earmark more funding for early intervention and research. This is a call to insurance companies to help us pay for treating our kids with autism, just like any other medical illness. This is a call to our pediatricians to put into place autism screening tools so we can intervene in a timely manner and provide our children with the best possible chance at life.
