Well, the State Senate version of the autism bill is stuck in committee, where coverage was cut from 21 until the age of 6. Apparently, if they haven't gotten "better" by the age of six, we are just supposed to give up. Such crap. Expect this come back year after year - parents love their children. We don't give up.
The really sad thing is I am a Democrat. Senator Chuck Colgan was the head of the committee on this bill. I haven't been able to ascertain his stance on the legislation, but I am disappointed that this wasn't able to get out of his committee this year and all that the coverage wasn't broader. I don't blame him personally, but I would very much like to know what went on. In contrast, Republican Delegate Jackson Miller's stock shot up with me tremendously. He was committed to this bill for months. I will always appreciate his efforts.
