Clinton to unveil plan addressing autism next week

Nothing much to the article at all, except the following quote:

“I’m actually rolling out a plan about autism in about a week, where I talk about all the different things that we need to do to try to support families and people who are diagnosed as on the autism spectrum,” Clinton says.

First Alzheimer's, something near and dear to my heart, and next autism research and support. I can't wait to see the specifics next week.


And as a nice aside, an autistic teen sing the national anthem at a Clinton event earlier this month:

Gina Incandela was diagnosed with autism when she was just 2 years old. She didn't speak until she turned 3.

Now, she's singing the National Anthem at Hillary Clinton's Orlando rally on Wednesday.

She's also using the power of her voice to change the perception about people with disabilities.

And, she's only 13 years old.

Past a healthy general support for all medical research I would rather my candidate stuck to issues rather than chase the disease or medical condition of the week. I mean earlier today it was Alzheimer's...
