Sires supports autism research
On June 16, Congressman Albiro Sires co-sponsored the H.R. 2005 Combating Autism Re-Authorization Act of 2011, which will fund autism research for another three years. In a media statement Albio Sires said he will continue to work with local organizations, researchers, institutions and other groups to push for funding and research of the autism spectrum.
Autism is a disability that impairs toddlers’ development and social and communication skills.
The Act would provide $48 million for early detection, education and intervention and $161 million for National Institute of Health research and operation of the inter-agency Autism Coordination Committee. H.R. 2005 is currently pending before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
