Thanks to you, Congress just passed the Autism CARES Act of
2019! The legislation now heads to the President's desk to be
signed into law.

The passage of
Autism CARES ensures continued federal support for autism research,
monitoring, training and services at the National Institutes of Health (NIH),
Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) and Health Resources and
Services Administration (HRSA). The legislation authorizes more than $1.8 billion in funding over the next five years and places an increased emphasis on reducing health disparities and improving services for people with autism throughout the lifespan.

Your voices and support helped achieve this accomplishment!
Throughout this process, members of Congress have shared their gratitude for
advocates, like yourself, who speak up and fight for critical legislation like
this. We join them in thanking you for your dedicated advocacy.

Thank you,

The Autism Speaks Advocacy Team
