FUNDING FOR FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN WITH AUTISM

To anyone who can help,

Recently the Center for Disease Control released that the prevalence of autism is 1 out of every 150 children. Families all over the United States are in desperate need to find ways to fund their intervention programs. If anyone has any information about how we can find ways to help families find funding, please let us know.

Thankyou for your time

in response to...I had the same problem with my autistic daughter and she might would sleep for 1 hour a day if that. The doctor put her on clonidine and zoloft, 2 x a day. These meds drop her blood pressure so that she calms down and sleeps 2 times a day. I know there are other treatments, but this worked for her and it is a start. You can even contact the makers of the drugs and they will supply you with the meds, usually at no charge, depending on your income.
