People with profound autism should be included in research, services, and supports. Unfortunately, their inclusion has diminished over the years, resulting in fewer and fewer resources for this struggling population.
A simple and effective first step in recognizing them and their unique needs is to familiarize state officials with the new term, profound autism.
One way to accomplish this is through a profound autism day proclamation. We've made it very simple for you to ask your state legislator to issue a profound autism day proclamation at the link below.
