Children's Autism Program for the poor funding might be elimina

Rapsalot :
That makes me wonder if the plan is to fund the program through other sources.

MrsC67 :
That makes me wonder a lot of things but not that.
Texas is notoriously bad when it comes tp providing services to certain communities. Autism, psychiatry. I'll just stop. It's not like most people care
I don't why I bother.

MrsC67 :
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it really can be a duck.
What in the world makes you think this is being done because of any interest in other funding sources?

MrsC67 :
It's not. Complete elimination. The budget request just submitted this month for the 2028-2029 legislative biennium. HHSC proposed entirely slashing the program's funding and eliminating it. Apparently, it was a last minute proposal and healthcare providers were given no heads up. The wait list is bad for both children and adults. I was on the wait list only a short time ago and it was 2 to 5 years. They only jumped me forward after a cognitive test I was having because of a stroke. I apparently threw enough red flags to raise some questions. Basically, it required a stroke to be helped in a timely fashion.

Rapsalot : I don't know dude but is there anything else we can freak out about this morning?

Many have a feigned shock response, but don't really care, hence the it's probably provided for by... oh I don't really care. It's street urchins.
.

Rapsalot : Ah! You have no children.

Rapsalot : The world's not ending you will make it through this then the next guy will be a hero and reinstate the program. Thats how all of this works

Chow :
You are probably right about that. There was a time when no one even knew what autism was. Now look at all the panties in a wad. I can say this because I am surrounded by autism.

Chow : Definitely rinse and repeat cycles. It does get tiring...

Donnawisdom : It just gives a reason for people to freak out. It's not even a done deal it's a maybe….. it's being discussed. But then like I said if they do cut the program it'll be back and better when the next guy is elected. Just how it works

Rapsalot : I say what I say and what I say is true regardless if it follows your little agenda or not. Maybe go take some Benadryl and go nite nite for a bit

Luv2eatsushi :
What makes you speculate
about that?
3
and 4 grandchildren
and a nonverbal 40 year old autistic nephew that had services th e Stat e of Texas e ants to take away from 500+ children. I am not an I don't care about autistic child'see being kind of person.

Chow :
Just for the record I don't think you are vile. No matter what the other guy says. He is just wanting to stir the pot.
