Government Affairs Activity
Our Guiding Principles in any action is based on the following:
- Autism is a national emergency
- Autism is a treatable dynamic multi-organ disease process
- Agency preference statement and/or banning of thimerosal/mercury is necessary
- Shift research focus from genetics to environment
- Leveraged public-private research agenda driven by researchers
Our current objectives include:
- Continued monitoring, support and initiation of legislation to improve ASD lives and protect children from developing neurodevelopmental disorders, as they relate to our mission;
- Support of Federal research efforts, such as those by the Department of Defense and the NIH Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee;
- Monitor and disseminate information regarding Federal agency activities to reduce mercury exposure.
