That is so sad. Autism is so common yet insurance companies get away with denying care. Things like this are why I support universal health care. I feel so blessed that my husband is high functioning autistic. He could have just as easily been affected by it more drastically and my whole life would be different.

I used that song and the video for it at the beginning of this school year with my kids. They looked at some of the other "What kind of World do you Want" videos. Then they made some of their own. It was amazing what they came up with. Several of them focused on Autism because they have siblings that have been diagnosed.

Five for Fighting - this is another BIG reason to love them even more!
