The loss was related to the increase in need of services in the autism community.</p> <p>It sounds like the Autism Society has already made staff changes and other changes to get back into a fiscally sound position. The audit says a lot....</p> <p>Thank goodness families have this organization to rely upon. The support and advocacy they provide is invaluable to so many in this state. In fact many people move to NC because of the services in NC that are directly related to the Autism Society and it's ablility to advocate with the Legistlature, School Systems, etc., to assure there are supports in this state.</p> Thu, 21 Aug 2008 16:58:10 -0400 taximom comment 9367 at http://projects.newsobserver.com http://projects.newsobserver.com/under_the_dome/autism_society_had_1_5_million_deficit#comment-9358 <p>do they know why autism is a condition from only about the past 30 years?</p> <p>is it due to processed foods?</p> <p>autism was not known more than 30 years ago, what caused its meteoric rise,<br /> and should the state be subsidizing it at all? WHY?</p> Thu, 21 Aug 2008 13:01:35 -0400 FFC1304 comment 9358 at http://projects.newsobserver.com
