That means all of the "Big Three" Democratic candidates have an autism platform, while the other Democrats and Republicans do not... 1 in 150 children and possible 10% of boys my son's age are autistic. At least Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, and Barack Obama recognize the pressing need - insurance companies do nothing for you when your child has autism (especially Kaiser Permenente) and there is little help to shoulder the crushing burden of the needs of these kids.
I know it is politics and what not, but I thank Senators Clinton, Edwards, and Obama for taking a stand (at least on paper) to help kids like my son. It means everything to me.
Maybe I am a little too political, but I love Jimmy. If you were in my shoes, you would be screaming too.
We had his evaluation today. I will post at more length when we get the full results. Suffices to say that he is not MR.
