Okay so everyone knows I am not a democrat, I have been a Republican since High School and I'm actually pretty conservative......anyways not the point. The point I'm making is that if I had a choice between Obama and Clinton, it certainly wouldn't be Clinton for many reasons. One of the moms on my gfcf group posted this about Obama and I thought I would share and say "Good for him!"
Obama has this on his site in the healthcare section:
Support Americans with Autism. More than one million Americans have autism, a complex neurobiological condition that has a range of impacts on thinking, feeling, language, and the ability to relate toothers. As diagnostic criteria broaden and awareness increases, more cases of autism have been recognized across the country. Barack Obama believes that we can do more to help autistic Americans and their families understand and live with autism. He has been a strong supporter of more than $1 billion in federal funding for autism research on the root causes and treatments, and he believes that we should increase funding forthe Individuals with Disabilities Education Act to truly ensure that no child is left behind. More than anything, autism remains a profound mystery with a broad spectrum of effects on autistic individuals, their families, loved ones, the community, and education and health care systems. Obama believes that the government and our communities should work together to provide a helping hand to autistic individuals and their families.
Uniquely John Edwards has this:

They are the only two candidates with any information on Autism or their stand on it.
Autism is a complex neurobiological disorder that affects 1 in 150 children, more often boys then girls. There is no cure, but with faith, hope and love for our precious children we can stand strong and help our childrent to recover.
Why we're saving Chase
In June of 2003 Chase was diagnosed with Autism. It has been a long journey trying to "bring him out" we recently have researched and started a plan of new treatments. Our trials, errors, laughs and tears are posted within these pages.
