"We have an absolute epidemic of autism in this country. Parents and doctors are struggling to find appropriate treatment options; and I personally believe that Congress has a responsibility to make sure that children with autism and their families receive the help that they need. Any legislation that unnecessarily limits medical treatment options is, in my opinion, deeply troubling, and potentially dangerous and should be opposed."
- US Representative Dan Burton
