I am not surprised given the state of lobbyist influence in Washington. You listening Obama? My kid has autism and I cant get my insurance company to help pay for his treatments. Out of pocket expenses in 5 years – $110,000. But if my son was a crack addict, he would get more treatment and assistance than he could use. WTF!

We need more research into pollutants and those technology’s only recently in the hands of people for the past 20 years.. like Cell Phones, PC’s, Hands Free, Plastic Water Bottles, Plastic pipes, Recycling Waste Emmissions, Food Packaging, Rise in consumption of sushi, MRI’s, make up and lotions- have you ever looked at the contents of “Cocoa Butter Lotion” its like a get together for un pronouncable metals and chemicals- hhhhmmmm, rub this lotion on for no stretch marks…

Its pollution people, its screws up everything and for those who have children without autism, its a matter of time before the pollution breaks down our bodies and affects their offspring…. my 2 cents.. Peace to all and keep the faith so we can help those affected by autism.

President-Elect Obama has drafted comprehensive autism legislation, including a section addressing a broad based federal autism insurance mandate.

In his Presidential campaign statement on Autism Spectrum Disorders, President-Elect Obama committed to bringing autism insurance reform to the entire nation. The statement stated that Obama and Biden “will mandate insurance coverage of autism treatment and will also continue to work with parents, physicians, providers, researchers, and schools to create opportunities and effective solutions for people with ASD.” For the complete campaign statement, and to read the draft legislation, go to http://www.autismvotes.org.
