President Obama signed the Combating Autism Reauthorization Act of 2011 into law on Friday, September 30, 2011. As a result of this enactment, $693 million is authorized for autism research and treatment over the next three years. Our community's momentum will not be interrupted while research and discovery for the causes and treatments of autism continues. Please take a moment to send a thank you note to President Obama, as well as your Member of Congress and your Senators who made this day possible.
