After reading Lauren's comment I decided to explore Pinterest to see what I could find about autism. WOW! What doesn't Pinterest have? I found links to the ribbon explanation to educational tips to stories that parent's shared. I was really interested in a video I came across so when I clicked on it, it brought me to an entire article about how doctors want to 'redefine' autism and how this has been worrying parents because they are not sure if they will be eligible for the benefits if their child is not as severe as another. Would you be worried if you were a parent? Not only do these parents have much stress in their lives but here's one more thing to add to their list. They should not have to worry about being, in a sense, shoved out into the cold. Each family should be given benefits and the proper education for their child.

DO you know what the new definition is going to be? I cannot imagine having a child who is high on the spectrum and then having to worry about not recieving and benfits/aide. That would be awful!
