Yes. This will affect us all greatly. Something else that has popped

up recently in MI is there has been a mental health parity bill up now

for close to three years. I heard yesterday that there was

consideration by some groups to have a " carve out " of services for

people with ASD. Not a good thing.

It's being done because of the high costs factors and folks wanting ABA

as the BPS. So with the effort to try to pass legislation for

specific ASD coverage, it may have backfired unfortunately.

If this happens in MI it will be devastating to many children and adult

who now, because of the nature of the system of delivery, are receiving

services under MI codes and via the Community Mental Health system.

Not a good thing.
