President Obama,
Congratulations on your reelection! I was one of the millions who
voted for you, and as the mother of a teenage boy with autism, I am grateful that you did so much in your first term to help families coping with autism. When you signed the Combating Autism Act legislation on
September 30, 2011, which assured continued federal support for autism
research, services and treatment for another three years, many parents
of children with autism cheered. Declaring World Autism Awareness Day on
April 2 was another important step.
People with autism and their families look forward to the hope and
change that you spoke of in your acceptance speech today. Here are a few
facts about us that I hope you will keep in mind during the next four
years.
