AUTISM

We deny, grieve, accept, and then we must fight for the rights of our child. At 3 1/2, my autistic son has already been pushed out of a district program and into a county program because of class size. With Gov. Pete Wilson’s educational budget cuts approaching, we fear that more opportunities will be denied. Like the Rudds, we will keep on fighting.
