State Advocacy for Profound Autism

Legislative activity taking place in state capitols can have a significant impact on the quality of life of people with profound autism and those who care for them. 

PURSUING RECOGNITION OF PROFOUND AUTISM NATIONWIDE

People with profound autism should be included in research, services, and supports. Unfortunately, their inclusion has diminished over the years, resulting in fewer and fewer resources for this struggling population.

A simple and effective first step in recognizing them and their unique needs is to familiarize state officials with the new term, profound autism.

One way to accomplish this is through a profound autism day proclamation. We've made it very simple for you to ask your state legislator to issue a profound autism day proclamation at the link below.

Please take a moment to join in this effort. If enough people make this simple request, we can easily accomplish this in all fifty states. Questions? Please contact us at [email protected]
