I'm trying to get a law passed for children with autism to be able to stay in school on a voluntary basis till age 26 here in Illinois. As it is now they are let go at 21. If children with autism are allowed to stay in school till age 26 then they can be covered on their parents insurance. The autism organizations here in Illinois have told me that this law would ruin the great vocational programs we have in Illinois and will not help me?? Am I missing something here? I'm so confused by this?? No wonder Illinois is 51st worst state in the nation for providing services for children with autism!!! HELP!! Get me out of here!!! Again, I have to do this by myself with no support from anyone!! Please call your state reps and tell them to support "Candace's Law" that Illinois State Senator Delgado is submitting for us!!
