The General Assembly will set the budget during the upcoming legislative session. Blunt is asking for a total of about $19.7 million for statewide autism services.
Autism Autism-spectrum disorders slow childhood development by impairing the ability to communicate, reason and interact. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that one out of every 150 children is diagnosed with one of the many forms of autism. ASDs affect more children than pediatric cancer, diabetes and AIDS combined, Gov. Matt Blunt said on Friday.
