It's understandable to be concerned about potential funding cuts and their impact on our community. Recent federal budget actions propose significant Medicaid cuts, along with reductions in autism research funding and special education programs. This could severely threaten therapies, services, and research for autistic individuals and families.

These cuts may lead to reduced access to therapies like ABA and speech therapy, create financial strain on families, and disrupt research. Special education under IDEA could also face uncertainty, potentially reducing teachers and support.

To stay informed and advocate for our community, resources like Autism Speaks ([https://www.autismspeaks.org/a....dvocacy-news/medicai and NC Voices ([https://ncvoices.com/nc-autism....-community-alarmed-o provide updates and information on how to get involved.
