$ support for low-mid income children with Aspergers syndrome to schools that specialize in autism spectrum disorders.

This would increase aid to families of children with Aspergers and other autism spectrum disorders. Few private schools exist for the sole purpose of helping children with these type of challenges. When parents find a school the cost is grossly prohibitive. The schools studied have a student body consisting of children from the very poor (they often receive aid), or the very well-off (they don't need aid). The vast majority of children who need this type of education don't qualify for much if any assistance. These children are stuck in public school failing, bullied, marginalized, ultimately giving up/dropping out. Average parents can't afford the $12,000 +/- tuition. Even with a grant given by Indiana, parents still have to pay $600 +/- a month, a crippling burden to a family earning 40k.
