So well said.

My child was cut to 0 funding last spring, after I had to go to court, we were allocated a few hours per week. I had hoped that because so many of us were cut last year here in south florida then more would be added and I'm sorry that it didn't work out that way. So many of us asked for help then and the discrimination against us for even having it in the first place was extremely hard as a parent to take. I know that I am doing the best I can with the little I am given and feel blessed that I receive any help but it is so harsh to criticize us for having the same needs as so many of you also have and deserve. Why is there fighting among the Autism community about this? It should be directed at the APD and the funding system and to the governor who refuses to accept federal aid, there should be no tax breaks for big corporations and sky boxes and luxury yachts. You don't think we care but we do and it is heartbreaking to hear the infighting. There is plenty of disappointment surrounding this issue,but to blame parents for being at the forefront to even getting the waiver in place so many years ago and their child being eligible for services is unkind. It wasn't supposed to be this way when the program was started. All of our children no matter what age need services, some perhaps are even more involved than others, lets hope the economy gets better so services to all work shops, respite, home care etc is refunded. But please stop the blame game
