The national Autism Association finished a campaign asking a simple question How much longer until autism gets the attention it deserves. The president in his speech on health care mentioned the H1N1 or swine flu as an epidemic. He failed to address the Autism epidemic which has been years in the making and seems to be increasing in severity. According to a recent survey by the National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH), with support by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the US Department of Health and Human Services, Autism Spectrum Disorders now affect 1 in 100 children. The campaign sent out 8 different ads have circulated over the past 6 weeks. This campaign was not like most , the campaign was rather rebellious and harsh at times. They actually call out the National Institutes of health for not focusing more funding toward environmental causes of autism. The campaign calls out the Dept. of Education for their slow response to the abuse and even death of special education students in our schools. This campaign is over now but it is never to late to contact your congressmen. The campaign sent out over 50, 000 letters to President Barrack Obama and others by September 9th.
