Autism Families: Becoming Represented

Hooray for the members of Congress and Senate for passing the Combating Autism Reauthorization Act (CARA) of 2011 by unanimous consent. Waiting to hear that President Obama has signed it into law. We need more research so we can find better treatments for our loved ones and future generations of children and people on the Autism Spectrum.

More support for research might also give us answers for how we might be able to prevent Autism from occurring among our children in such devastating numbers (currently 1 in 110 children; 1 in 70 boys).

As a long-term resident of California, I have been urging Governess Brown to sign SB 946. Thank you, California Senate President Darrell Steinberg for making this a serious priority.
