🧩 AUTISM FUNDING: WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOUR FAMILY!

Congress has passed nearly $400 million in autism funding for FY2026! This is a HUGE win for our community. But what does it actually mean for you and your family?

✅ More research: Expect increased studies, especially focusing on profound autism, to help us better understand the spectrum.
✅ Better training: HRSA training programs are getting a boost, meaning more healthcare professionals will be equipped to support autistic individuals.
✅ Early intervention: Stanford's 2026 conference highlights the importance of early intervention, with talks on infant biomarkers and parent-mediated models.

💡 Actionable Insight: Early intervention is key! Explore Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions (NDBIs) and parent-mediated models. Talk to your pediatrician or local autism support organization to learn more.
