Organization's Own Description:
In 2001, Representatives Chris Smith and Michael Doyle founded and co-chaired the first-ever Congressional Membership Organization dedicated to autism advocacy on Capitol Hill—The Coalition for Autism Research and Education (CARE). Over 180 Members of Congress from over 40 states joined this bipartisan and bicameral effort.
The goals of the bipartisan Coalition for Autism Research and Education include, but are not limited to:
Increasing general awareness of autism and autism spectrum disorders among Members of Congress and policy analysts in federal government
Educating Members of Congress on current and future research initiatives regarding autism
Serving as a forum where autism-related policy issues can be exchanged, debated, and discussed
Bringing together public, private, and government entities to pursue legislative initiatives that will help facilitate advanced treatments—and ultimately a cure—for autism spectrum disorders.
Promoting all means to ease the burdens of families and loved ones affected by autism
