This “Autism Czar” would have been a great position to fill BEFORE the healthcare debate.
Candidate Obama on Autism …
“Many insurance companies have failed to assume their responsibilities. Individuals with autism are routinely denied insurance benefits for their treatments. As President, I will appoint a Federal ASD Coordinator, an “Autism Czar” to oversee and coordinate a nationwide effort to deal proactively with ASD. This effort will include diverse but credible research, treatment, personal care/assistance and family support and will work with existing national and state organizations and taskforces. We need to ensure that combating autism, once and for all, receives the recognition and priority it deserves at the highest level of government. This appointee will also have a mandate to eliminate bureaucratic obstacles that may be delaying implementation of important measures and will ensure that all federal funds are being spent in a manner that prioritizes results. We need to build effective communication and collaboration among federal, state and local agencies.

6 months into the Obama administration, no “Autism Czar”. To add insult to injury, it appears that autism has been excluded from the president’s spend-a-thon, AKA: Health Care Reform. Given the trillions already dropped into the laps of greedy bankers with no strings or oversight attached, autism coverage is the equivalent of the federal government buying a Happy Meal.
