Don’t you think the family could handle that better? Why does this need outside resources at the national level?

But for that we’d have to have a society where those in power have the well-being of the planet and humanity as the goal.

YES! A child with Autism, if diagnosed by age 3, can accomplish a complete reversal by receiving State funded one on one specialized intervention. I have experienced this miracle up close and personal. Now straight A students. #earlyintervention

yes we should focus, but it has to be a wide net of what to create. Investment in quality preschool programs where professionals work and get paid as such, community based children's museums, safe parks, as well as quality entertainment.
