The Crisis in Autism Care: Why Oversight Matters and How We Can Do Better
The recent Connecticut Mirror report on the alarming lack of oversight in autism service providers has brought to light a deep and unsettling issue—one that affects some of the most vulnerable individuals in our communities. The fact that therapeutic autism centers in Connecticut operate without the same regulatory safeguards as other care facilities is not merely a bureaucratic oversight; it is a fundamental failure to protect those who cannot advocate for themselves.
