Autism diagnoses are up SIX HUNDRED %. The waitlists for evaluations and assessment for diagnoses are exponentially increasing, with many having to wait months and some years to just get the diagnosis. Even once the diagnosis is confirmed, the waitlists for therapies to help are HUGE and take months to years due to lack of resources for Autism. There’s a general ignorance about Autism as well amongst the public, which goes to show awareness for it is not sufficient. ASD is hard, our kids need us to advocate for them because they can’t for themselves. There needs to be more acknowledgement, awareness, and resources for this population of people so that they have the same chances at a prosperous life as everyone else. These people are legitimately disabled, and Medicaid takes months to be approved for those with ASD, especially children at home. Some people don’t have the money out of pocket to pay for the therapies, and many insurance companies won’t cover it or will only pay some of the very large bills. Some theorize that ASD is related to mandatory vaccinations, food additives, prenatal medications, etc, all of which is the government’s FDA’s job to protect We the People, otherwise, why are they there? Should that be true, that’s all the more reason for the government to step up and help this rapidly growing community. The government has no issue helping other countries, drug addicts, illegitimately disabled people, illegal immigrants. Where’s the help for these children and adults that actually need the help and cannot help themselves? Where’s the help for the parents, family, and caretakers that have to care for these individuals around the clock, many or most having to quit their jobs and put their lives on hold due to the severity of the disorder and the effect it has on their autistic loved one’s every day life? These are truly disabled AMERICANS. If the government is going to help anybody, help THEM!

They have had the cure for it, and they know exactly what causes it—there will be no autism as soon as they tell the truth.
