An Autistic child is a permanent sorrow for a family.He/She can't perticipate in family activities due to infermity.In accute cases,they are often cosidered as a burden for the family if Support from the State is nil & the parents are poor.We are aware of the proverb which says"God help those who help themselves".Under this context,as Autistic children cannot help themselves,they are deprived of God's help also.Then how these children can be helped?World organisations are there to help refugees or others in different sectors.How do we catagorise an Autistic children who is helpless either by birth or after some time from birth?If there is no Inernational organisation to help Autistic chidren,one should be formed immediately by developed countries.The USA can take the lead by spending 1(one)or 2(two) percent from defense budget.It is a lot easier & cheaper to make an Autistic child happy in other countries than to establish democracy by bombings.May I request US senate members to help?

I think absolutely autistic children deserve the attention of our federal government.
It's reported that between 2 and 6 children in 1000 will be autistic. With a population of children being about 29,715,872, that means that roughly 118,863 are currently living with the handicap (using the equation of 4 in children in 1000 being autistic.)
What can be done to help? Well, first medical researchers need to figure out what causes autism. Funding also needs to go towards detecting early warning signs. In most cases of autism, if it's caught early enough, those who suffer from it can go on to lead somewhat normal lives.
The next question is how much has already been appropriated towards research on autism, and what it's being used for. I can't answer that.
I'm behind you 100%, though. Even though it's a small number (as compared to how many children there are in the US), one is too many. And furthermore, it may be true that autistic patients are treated better now than they were sixty years ago, it's a slow process.
I don't agree with taking funding from our defense budget. We need that more now than ever, with the threat of terrorism looming so imminently. However, I'm sure that with a second glance at our economic outlook, and where funds are going, the Senate and Congress can re-evaluate them. If we push them to.
That is, after all, their job.

If the government supplies aid to one type of disability, then it has to do the same for all. Depending on the amount of aid, taxes would sky rocket, thus, the parents and families never see their financial situation improve. And also, the idea that this funding would come from the defense budget is absurd. George Washington stated 'To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace.' This is true. Do you want to pick a fight with the midget (no offense) or the NFL linebacker holding the assault rifle? Not to mention that the Defense budget is by no means the largest area of spending in the US budget. If you want to see where you can get money visit my source.
Obviously this is a difficult issue and in a perfect world autism would not even exist. Yet we must cope because nothing in the world is perfect.

first and supreme, might desire to you be a confirm? that is obtrusive which you have not any compassion or concern for the desires of others. there are various babies with stressful circumstances and as a mom of an autistic baby, i will state with an absolute actuality, babies act out for a style of motives and those are the stressful circumstances dealing with the widespread public college device, not having a baby with a disgnosis. there are various babies with 'lables' and that's extremely none of your organization. If that comparable baby had a diagnosis of cancer might you assert he should not be interior the college room? i'm specific you have those comments approximately rather a lot each thing and every person. that is extremely unhappy! in case you place a lable on each baby interior the college room, as i'm specific your baby might have one if not the rest they might say it fairly is "HER" baby because of the fact i'm specific you have made a recognition for your self already! how might you experience whilst your baby won her lablel? How might that make you experience? I extremely have yet to work out an autistic baby be disruptive in a school room yet have witnessed finished meltdowns from babies whose mom and dad think of they're the main smart, extra effective than the different baby interior the class, and so on. that is obtrusive which you're the subject, and that i'm specific you have not provided to develop a hand interior the college room to help the instructor lighten her load, for that reason take your efficient daughter domicile and stay there.

My niece is NOT a "permanent sorrow" for our family. She is a great handful, I agree, but not a sorrow! And she may not be able to participate in a fashion typical of a 10 year old, but she
does participate!
Another thing you should be aware of when you talk about autism is that it can range from a kid who can't talk or understand & bangs his head against the wall all the way to the computer programmer. (Many suspect Bill Gates has Asperger's) In fact, 75% of all those with autism are verbal.
I agree that if government waste was redirected, great things could be done, but why is military waste the only waste you want to focus on? Are you aware that only 62% of all the money going into the food stamp program actually makes it to the people? More people could be helped with less money if Uncle Sam could handle his money! Compare that to about 90% of the donations going into food banks actually making it to people!
Yet people are always looking to the government to fix our problems! The government should stop trying to fix our problems & instead should let us keep our money & encourage us to donate more of our money to resposible charities.

I respectufully disagree that children with autism are "permanent sorrows" or "burdens." You say that, "God helps those who help themselves." I am good at my job, teaching, but I don't know how to repair a car, build a house, etc. I need other people to help me with these things. No one can do everything, but does that mean that I do not help myself? It is the same for individuals with autism. I read a news story online today about a young man with autism who, when he was young could build and repair computers, but struggled to tie his shoes and eat with a fork. Today, he runs a fairly successful computer repair business from his home. There are many adults with autism who lead independent and successful lives. For a great example, look up Temple Grandin. She is a college professor and author who has autism.
