Quote:
The federal government is handing out nearly $100 million with an eye toward better understanding autism and developing interventions for the condition.
The National Institutes of Health said this week that it will award nine grants over the next five years as part of the Autism Centers of Excellence program, an effort to support large-scale, multidisciplinary research on ASD.
Funding will go to projects aimed at evaluating universal autism screening in toddlers, testing parent coaching as an intervention for kids on the spectrum, looking for early signs of the developmental disorder in the brains of fetuses and newborns and addressing the transition to adulthood, among other issues
Same old, Same old agenda. Find autism as young as possible or even before birth with the goal of eliminating autism through behavioral therapies or eugenics. I did see that money going towered "transition" a political move I guess since the people diagnosed young when the autism definition was expanded are becoming adults. Parent coaching could be a way of using ABA sans therapists saving the insurence companies money.
Still we older autistics don't exist appearently.
