@breakingnewsaba I submitted feedback about this article because it refers to Texas HB 2929 as law — mandating police training — but that bill never passed. https://t.co/iSBQuSFi5O

@WendellWalkerVA Thank you, Delegate Walker, for spending time with Impact Autism. The services they provide are investments — showing that individuals with autism have potential and are worthy of health care and appropriate supports.

@MarvinLimforGA Thank you, Rep. Lim, for speaking out about the importance of access to services for those with autism and other developmental disabilities.

[Autism Speaks Advocacy @autismvotes]

Autism Speaks opposes the decision to move special education and civil rights responsibilities out of the @usedgov. This change risks weakening how special education is supported, coordinated and enforced & creates uncertainty for families who rely on these supports.

@eddieandrews @eddieandrews thank you again for your commitment to Iowa’s autism community!

@ArthurWestover Congratulations!

@jpitney Autism Speaks has an exciting new initiative to help develop a model to care for the disproportionate number of autistic adults who develop dementia https://t.co/OQYOIPHBxG

I almost hesitate to promote this, because it wasn't really intended to be a piece. I just sort of sat down and it came out. Maybe someone else out there has the same type of day today, and it'll speak to them.

The Office for Civil Rights at the Department of Education has long protected students with disabilities such as autism. The Trump Administration is gutting it. https://t.co/12tTIz4XmL

Many autistic people depend on home- and community-based services. The GA Legislature approved a budget allowing 900 individuals to move off the wait list. Gov. Kemp is directing the state agency to use funds for just 100. https://t.co/GjLu7u59xQ

[Christa Stevens @ChristaS_AS]

@jpitney And yesterday he gutted the new allocation of 900 HCBS waiver slots in the budget. In a state with 1,217 on the waitlist who have been identified as actively in crisis. It’s likely more than half of those have a diagnosis of ASD. Sad day for Georgia’s autism community.

A study suggests that early intervention (EI) may have tangible academic benefits for children with moderate-to-severe developmental delays or disabilities nsuch as autism. https://t.co/vRjzBVNsF1

[Jack Pitney @jpitney]

A new study finds wide variation across states in autism diagnoses by primary care providers among Medicaid-enrolled children. https://t.co/5XY1BsdKes

[Jack Pitney @jpitney]

If you're looking for reliable information about autism, stay off TikTok. A study finds that it has a lot of misinformation about neurodivergence-related topics.

@JHMarble On this page, you can click through the states and see which therapies each insurance mandate covers.

@ArthurWestover Do you remember over what period of time were did the incidents occur?

@CongressmanKean Thank you, @Congressman Kean, for being a member of the disability caucus and for your leadership on the Autism CARES Act.
