Mr. Cox -
When will Mr. McDonnell share his position on autism in Virginia, particularly how it pertains to needed insurance mandates to help families have medical and therapuetic treatments covered (see HB 1588, sponsored by Bob Marshall), special education funding from Richmond, and the growing need for Medicaid waiver services? 1 in 150 children are diagnosed with autism. With early intervention, education and proper medical treatment, many of these children can grow into tax paying, productive adults. With help to families, it will reduce the 80-85% divorce rate in couples raising autistic children. I have called, blogged, and even Tweeted, but now with November coming, I must have an answer as I have to vote on this very important issue to be a voice for the future of Virginia and the future of my children. I await your response and appreciate your time.

Now to work on my e-mail to the Deeds camp...
