Autism and Healthcare Concerns

Severely Autistic Adults Living at Home Save State Big Bucks. Cost to place this autistic adult in state developmental center: Basic placement: $353,000 dollars per year, NOT including the 1:1 staffing needed. Home care nursing respite costs a FRACTION of what it would if severely autistic adults with serious behavioral and medical issues end up in institutional care. Let's help keep autistic individuals at HOME with the proper supports.

I'm a 22 year old male and I'm not ashamed to say I tear up a little from your videos. It's so obvious that your son loves you and you love him even through trying times. Just wanted to say I feel strongly about autism as a medical condition, and everything should be made as easy as possible for you from that standpoint. You and your family are saints and have my unyielding respect.

I have AS and can see what Jamey saw in tree, it so obvious your son loves you, you both look so happy at the park

While many with autism are obviously disabled; there are many, including me with AS who are "should be able to work", stuck in the middle.

@groovysherrie65 Groovy Sherrie, I absolutely agree with you. HR-676 would cost less than what we now have, and cover everyone.

@kgaccount KG, I am in agreement with you. We must do better with our disabled, elderly, widows. They should have treated your son better. I have Asperger's, mild autism, I could compete for jobs when the economy was in good shape. Now, with this bad economy and this mild disability, and in my 50's it is a nightmare trying to get a job that pays a halfway decent wage and provides the health insurance benefit.

It kind of makes me wonder "what the hell does the govt. know about what's best for one's health? What does Obama know about what's best for everyone?" If he wants everyone to have health care, then he needs to make sure we have the money to help our children and those with disabilities.

I don't think Obama is judging autistic people. It's a bit much for you to say something like that. Nonetheless, I love the videos you put out. Your family is courageous and has a lot more strength than average Americans do.

@jazcor I don't think Obama is judging them either, but the people he appoints to healthcare would be, thus making him responsible for the outcome of injustices, if any. Hopefully, there won't be. Truly, I don't think Obama administration understand this type of autism, and it's not their fault, nobody has presented it to them. Like any adminstration, they have a 1000 things to worry about, and unless special issues like this are clearly shown, they don't get it.

No offense intended, but insurance companies are no better than any government run program. Corporations are who control our healthcare system now, and they are anything but our friends. Instead of depending on the bureacracy of a government or the tenticles of a corporate entity, we need to care for those in need. I contantly hear that America is a Christian nation. If this is true, we need to help those less fortunate than ourselves. Do unto others as you would wish them to do unto you.

@groovysherrie65 No offense taken. I agree. I'm a Christian (though I think last week I lost my Christianity as I swore profusely at a nurse who left our autistic son (with epilepsy) in bath my himself....but I get what UR saying...if we are such a "Christian" nation, it seems odd we have countless homeless, disabled, elderly, widows, orphans who constantly suffer. Churches need to build group homes for disabled, elderly AND reduce times spent talking about how to help the poor, etc.
