Address the current Autism Crisis! In light of the autism hearings, the time has come for answers! That time is now!

Dear President Obama,

My name is Sam Wessels. I am 10. I have autism. We met at an event in Sioux City, Iowa. You were campaigning to be reelected president. Maybe you remember me? Congratulations on your second term as president. When I met you we talked about standing up for people with autism. You said you had a plan already. I was hoping you could tell us more about that plan. My mom and I meet a lot of politicians who say they want to help, but nothing ever seems to change. It only seems to get worse. I don't know if any of them remember me either, but we keep trying anyway. My mom says it is the American way to stand up and be counted, which means to speak out about things that are important to you. Autism is very important to us and to many others. How will you help us? Thank you!
