自闭症被列为奥巴玛政府十大医学重任的第一位

忠于我心

这是昨天中午12点(09年1月份）刚登出的新政府任务书,自闭症是唯一在里面点名的,连传统中的研究项目:癌症,心脏病等都没特别列出来.

主要有四点:

1)加强对自闭症谱系的研究,治疗,检测,公共教育,社会支持服务

2)对自闭症的成年人和孩子们提供"终生服务".

3)对2006年通过的"抗击自闭症"法案加大财政预算.

4)对所有的新生儿进行自闭症的检查,而且孩子在两岁时再检查一次.


Autism tops Barack Obama's medical to-do list, according to the new president's website. Whitehouse.gov launched at 12:01 pm yesterday, even before the new president had taken his oath of office on the Capitol's West Front. Autism is the only disorder or disease mentioned explicitly in Obama's 24-point agenda. Heart disease and cancer don't get the call. Neither does diabetes, or other chronic diseases. But there are four hefty bullet points addressing autism. Obama called for:
      1. Increased funding for research, treatment, screenings, public awareness and support services for autism spectrum disorders.

  2. "Life-long services" for people with autism spectrum disorders, as children and as adults. Many parents struggle to find and pay for screening and treatments for their children, but there is even less coverage and capacity for adults with autism-based impairments

3. More funding for the 2006 Combating Autism Act, as well as improving state and federal autism programs.

      4. Universal screening for all infants for autism disorders, as well as re-screening for all 2-year-olds. This is the biggie; children are currently screened only if parents or pediatricians voice a concern, so too many children aren't diagnosed until they enter elementary school. The earlier treatment starts, the more effective it is, and a national screening program would help reduce the number of kids falling through the cracks. It would also be a huge undertaking, at a time when both government and privately insured health care is foundering.
      That second bullet point would be a huge help for families who are struggling to provide care. In a recent survey, 52 percent of parents of children with autism said their family finances were drained by treatment and care, compared to 13 percent of typical families.

你是说否则自闭症就不会得到这样的重视吗？其实我看自闭症得到政府的重视，是由于各个自闭症团体不懈地游说，努力提高社会对自闭症的认识，才有了这样的结果。

得这个是不幸，生在这个国家更加不幸

全要靠搞关系的，我一点都不会。社会黑暗，流氓欺负我没人主持公正，因为那流氓会搞关系，会交际。
我想就是我被害死了，也没人管

说实在的，美国在精神健康方面的关注和待遇都明显很好。希望通过咱们大家的努力，通过阳光论坛的感染力，将来中国也可以在这方面有所改善：）

我们的影响力还是太小了...太小了...
下一步该怎么走呢 唉

aaronguan

larkforsure朋友，最近也经常看到你的很多回帖，我个人就感觉从你的谈吐中有所收获，这就是影响啊。经过像你这样有知识的朋友的影响，我又会带着学到的东西去影响别人。这些“别人”中的一些人又会去影响另外的一些“别人”，不是吗？
现在有这个论坛很好，我们完全可以先从这个论坛开始，慢慢的帮助更多的人。^_^
先别提中国好了，就先尽力的去帮助论坛里那些经常遇到困惑的朋友们吧。
