John,

Please contact your US Representative today! Without action by Congress, critical funding for national autism research, training and supports will expire next Friday. You have the power to protect these vital initiatives.

The Autism CARES Act of 2024 is the most critical legislation for the autism community right now. Over the past two decades, our understanding of autism and the landscape of services and supports for people with autism has fundamentally changed, in large part due to the Autism CARES Act.

The Autism CARES Act expires Dec 20, 2024

This bill not only continues countless autism programs that advance supports for people with autism but includes new enhancements that address challenges related to:

Older and aging autistic adults;
Autistic people who are non-speaking or may need additional communication support;
Autistic individuals who require 24-hour care and may struggle with harmful or self-injurious behaviors; and
Families encountering provider shortages of developmental behavioral pediatricians.

You can help secure $2 billion over the next 5 years for federal autism programs by advocating with us for the Autism CARES Act. Contact your US Representative today!

Sincerely,
David Sitcovsky
Vice President of Advocacy

Ensure Autism CARES passes!
