As of 2022 1 and 54 children are born with Autism. 
40% of diagnosed individuals are non verbal. On average, autism costs an estimated 60k in extra costs per year. Families that have children with additional needs statistically make 56% less income than those without. Yet, it costs double to properly care for them. This should never be a thing! We need more in IL, we need more in our communities! We need more resources for childcare, we need more resources for therapy services, we need more resources for our public school system to properly care for our kiddos. I am looking for as many families as I can find that have been defeated by this process, or had to fight to get them to sign! Please join with me and be a voice for our kids!!! Please share with your friends in hopes that we reach as many families as possible!
