Description: For the first time in over 10 years, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform met last week to discuss autism. As one parent wrote about the hearings, “the Troops have landed in Normandy.” Leaders from the CDC, NIH, Autism Speaks, Autism Society of America, Autistic Self-Advocacy Network as well as other organizations shared their testimonies with and answered questions from representatives. In this episode, we discuss these monumental hearings and relevant issues.
