Congressman Dan Burton is asking parents of children with autism
spectrum
disorders to send in their personal stories. When was the onset of
autism?
What were the surrounding circumstances? What are the hurdles you face
in
attempting to secure appropriate educational placements and services?
What are the hurdles you face in attempting to secure or access
insurance
coverage/benefits? What are your child's prospects for the future?
Congressman Burton will be personally reading these stories, and
selecting
representative samples to be read by him on C-Span. Please send in your
stories to Congressman Burton, as follows: Congressman Dan Burton, 8900
Keystone Crsng. #1050 Indpls., IN 46240 Please be sure to note at the
bottom left of your letter "Autism Family."
Thank you so very much ASman, for posting this valuble information.  It just so happens I live in Indiana, too.  
I have a letter in the mail today to the congressman.  Hopefully, he will personally read my letter and give some consideration to my ideas.  I'm hoping he will think about how many autistic children have grown up to become autistic adults.  We will see.  Thanks again.
