Welcome to

One in 150 children is born with autism, and boys are more prone than girls. Kimberly Hill of Tallahassee is the mother of two autistic children. She and her husband have spent more than a hundred thousand dollars of their own money seeking therapy. Kimberly says hearing the words diagnosis and your child�s name in the same sentence can be mind shaking.

�Everything you�ve ever wanted for your kid is not as you know it,” Hill said. “You wonder if they�re actually going to get to go to school. If they�re ever going to speak. If you�re ever going to hear them say �mom� or �I love you.� If you will ever have grandchildren for them; what goes on in life. To find out that there is no help out there.�

Legislation signed by the Governor is expected to begin providing limited coverage for autism therapy by the end of the year.� Some have complained the coverage does not go far enough, or cover enough therapy choices, but the governor calls the step taken today �the beginning�.
