Leukemia Affects 1 in 25,000 Funding: $310 million ; Muscular Dystrophy Affects 1 in 20,000 Funding: $175 million ; Pediatric AIDS Affects 1 in 8,000 Funding: $394 million; Juvenile Diabetes Affects 1 in 500 Funding: $130 million ; Autism Affects 1 in 166 Funding: $15 million
This is OUTRAGEOUS!!!! Something has to be done!!! Everyday I meet more and more kids and more and more parents affected. And a lot of times they refuse to identify them. Autism is NOT a punishment - nor is it a blessing - it is a disorder that in some cases CAN be cured and in ALL cases CAN be helped. The problem is that even though so many are affected - SO many do NOTHING about it. Congress is so busy doing whatever (don't get me started) that there is NO legislation being passed - no Federal money being alloted.
This HAS to be fixed! This HAS to be seen to. This HAS to stop. There are enough of us out there - we HAVE to do something!!!!!
