Your Input Matters!
Is your or your child's disability listed in Categories of Disability Under IDEA ?
AUTISM is.
The nation’s special education law is called the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
1. Autism…
…means a developmental disability significantly affecting verbal and nonverbal communication and social interaction, generally evident before age three, that adversely affects a child’s educational performance. Other characteristics often associated with autism are engaging in repetitive activities and stereotyped movements, resistance to environmental change or change in daily routines, and unusual responses to sensory experiences. The term autism does not apply if the child’s educational performance is adversely affected primarily because the child has an emotional disturbance, as defined in #5 below.
A child who shows the characteristics of autism after age 3 could be diagnosed as having autism if the criteria above are satisfied.
The nation’s special education law is called the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA. As part of making special education and related services available to children with disabilities in the public schools, IDEA defines the term “child with a disability.” That definition includes specific disability terms, which are also defined by IDEA, as this webpage describes.
The IDEA’s disability terms and definitions guide how States in their own turn define disability and who is eligible for a free appropriate public education under special education law. The definitions of these specific disability terms from the IDEA regulations are shown beneath each term listed below. Note, in order to fully meet the definition (and eligibility for special education and related services) as a “child with a disability,” a child’s educational performance must be adversely affected due to the disability.
I don’t see the disability I’m looking for.

AUTISM IS A DISABILITY... and not just because it gets you a 'Disability' Parking Spot!
*AUTISM IS A DISABILITY! * *Autism is a Developmental Disability. Note the use of People First Language in the title. Ignorance is running rampant! Lack of understanding is dangerous! Lives and livelihoods are at stake! Stop the senseless bickering and nonsensical comparisons about disabilities, especially if you a affiliated with the disability community(individual, family, agency, organization,etc...). People with disabilities have enough to contend with in the arenas of non-disabled views and neuro-typical pontifications. Disability Rights Advocates have fought long ... more »
