AUTISM SPEAKS INC Petition
Health Care “Reform” That Fails to Stop Autism Insurance Discrimination is Unacceptable
211,305 signatures
About this Petition:
Autism insurance reform can and should be included in the final health care reform bill that President Obama has stated he will sign by the end of October. This is the time to end autism insurance discrimination once and for all. Our children have a medical condition which deserves appropriate treatment, therapy and care. Congress needs to know that health care “reform” that fails to stop autism insurance discrimination is unacceptable.

I am joining in honor of my 7 year old, Jaden. He is the love of my life, and he has an autism spectrumm disorder. when he was diagnosed I had no idea what it was and was so scared. i hope that this will help families that went through the same things we went through, help raise awareness, and maybe give families who are just starting out an easier time with dealing with all the things you have to go through in the beginning.
I have joined this cause becuase my oldest child is autistic, moderate functioning with some other disabilites too, he is the light of my life and i just want others to understand that autism isnt something to be cured, it isnt a disease, its just normal in that persons own way
I live in Spain and my loved niece Andrea is the apple of my pie. She´s so smart & Iso far away from me. I just had her here this summer. I truly believe We´re blessed in many ways because she´s high functioning & I can connect with her in a speciall way even tough we aren´t together at all. I just get into her world & there´s a speciall connection as soon as she sees me she holds my hand and wants to be with me all the time. I truly know what a stress & hard situation this is for families. They all deserve all our respect & support.
I joined this cause in honor of my 9 year old son - he is high functioning but lacks in speech development I wish all parents with autistic kids the absolute best stay strong....
I joined this cause to support raising awareness for all our children, including my 7 yr. old grandson, who are diagnosed and living daily with the limits that come with this dreaded disease. Raising awareness of the general public and promoting more and constant research is the true key for answers and hopefully a cure one day.
