💙 AUTISM CARES ACT: FUNDING FOR A BETTER FUTURE!

Great news for the autism community! Congress has approved nearly $400 million for autism research and programs in 2026. This funding supports critical initiatives at the NIH, CDC, and HRSA.

✅ What does this mean for families? More research into co-occurring conditions, better training for healthcare professionals, and increased outreach for early diagnosis!

💡 HRSA will receive $57.344 million to train health pros in autism-informed care. This means doctors and therapists will be better equipped to understand and support autistic individuals.

📌 The CDC gets $28.1 million for autism prevalence studies and early diagnosis. Early intervention is key!
