 'ACCESSING Waivers and Medicaid Funding for Autism'

EnjoyHi5Autism asks, "Why is it so difficult to obtain Medicaid waivers and vital funding for individuals with Autism? Autism is considered a developmental disability. Is it because unlike Autism, other types of disabilities are: 'visible', well-known, more acceptable?"
