ARI APPLAUDS CAREGIVERS
SAN DIEGO - The Autism Research Institute (ARI) applauds caregivers and advocates nationwide for their commitment to secure appropriate, individualized medical and educational intervention for individuals living with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs).
"Many individuals with autism suffer from apparently related medical conditions; these conditions are often ignored, and so are left untreated by the medical community. These children can improve significantly, and in some cases recover, if their medical needs are met," said ARI Director, Stephen M. Edelson, Ph.D.
A recent Harvard School of Public Health study by Dr. Michael Ganz estimates that the overall costs of caring for a person with autism are as much as $3.2 million over his or her lifetime.

"The Autism Research Institute (ARI) applauds caregivers and advocates nationwide for their commitment to secure appropriate, individualized medical and educational intervention for individuals living with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs)."
Okay got to admit that I was pleasantly surprised to get this recognition. Outside of God who watches over me every moment of each day, nobody, but nobody, has ever given me any kind of "official" recognition for the work I do on a daily basis. This was unexpected. Thank you ARI!
PS: This was something that useless Autism Speaks could have done in a heartbeat (doesn't cost any money), but I guess your heart needs to be in the right place first.
