Time to Act Now to Get Insurance for Autism

Disability Scoop has a quick recap of some of the state-level proposals to mandate insurance coverage, unfortunately under the heading "States Consider Autism Insurance, But Economy Deals Blow." Bills in Oklahoma and Virginia were killed, but there's a lot of activity in other states.

Now is the time to get involved in your state. Go to autismvotes.org and sign up for email updates specific to your state.

Calling all Marylanders -- This is the big week for Maryland, so if you live here like me, please go to autismvotes.org/maryland to get information about what you can do. This is winnable, but it's not going to be easy. We need more families telling their stories.
