Thank you Senator Rounds and Congressman Johnson for your sponsorship of the Autism CARES act.

Pat Powers

For those of you wondering what this measure does, it’s the nation’s primary autism legislation, and…

The measure, H.R. 1058, would ensure continued federal support for everything from autism research to prevalence tracking, screening, professional training and other initiatives.

Read that here.

This legislation is a pretty big deal for families affected by Autism. Why is it such a focus in state legislatures and Congress? Because at this point, nearly 1 in 59 children in the United States is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Senator Rounds is a sponsor of the Senate version of the bill (S. 427).

On the House side, I was also informed that Congressman Dusty Johnson has signed on to be a co-sponsor of H.R. 1058.

  1. Maybe you should also thank them for bringing the welfare dollars back to South Dakota!

    Oh, and also thank them for the $1.5 Trillion in debt they incurred on your behalf to give corporations free money to buy back their stock. That was really good of them.

    1. Um… prevalence tracking is not what you think it is. (You probably need to go back to looking for black helicopters.)
