I started reading your blog because of your feminist views but I've also really enjoyed your posts about the difficulty in getting support for autistic people. It's a problem that a lot of people ignore, and people with autism are often left without the support and services they need.Kathryn Bjornstad-Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09757451092927118197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-3176520798474362812011-11-01T18:02:41.697-05:002011-11-01T18:02:41.697-05:00Can't say I'm surprised.

Hooboy.<br /><br />And yet! When I start a new job and look at the "mental health" section of the insurance very very carefully and ask pointed questions I'm "paranoid" and "being silly." <br /><br />Of course, I've ALSO been told by Big Well-Known Insurance Company that, due to the family history, "it's probably genetic" (...ya think?) and they have a policy on genetic disorders. Which is to say, deny at all costs. Hooray!Estelethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-24021234253654070422011-11-01T13:33:41.308-05:002011-11-01T13:33:41.308-05:00Kathryn,

Or maybe autism coverage won't end up as part of the minimum benefits for plans on the health insurance exchanges, and then <a href="http://www.disabilityscoop.com/2011/09/26/uncertainty-autism-mandates/14113/" rel="nofollow">"If states mandate a benefit, but it isn’t on the federal list, the states would be responsible for the cost of the coverage."</a> And watch just how fast the autism insurance mandates start getting repealed...<br /><br />See above link for more. It's not just autism insurance that's at play, it's each and every insurance mandate from each and every state. Of course, some are more at risk than others I'm sure.JoyMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15073328328434957851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-71492235705860692472011-11-01T12:24:24.735-05:002011-11-01T12:24:24.735-05:00It's kind of appropriate you wrote about this ...It's kind of appropriate you wrote about this issue today, since today is Autistics Speaking Day. By any chance, would you be okay with me adding this post to our list of autism-related blog posts for today?
