As I know this posting come’s late, I just wanted to mention that the woman that Hillary Clinton spoke of is certainly not alone. I am the co-founder of a non-profit in Arizona called Singleton Moms. We provide practical support to single moms with cancer and we have assisted multiple women with autistic children. There are many of them in this country. It is a difficult situation but I have seen how strong these women can be.

[...] A Note On Hillary Clinton’s Speech Said the Senator in her speech to the DNC: “I will always remember the single mom who had adopted two kids with autism. She didn’t have any health insurance, and she discovered she had cancer. But she greeted me with her bald head, painted with my name on it, and asked me to fight for health care for her and her children.” [...]

[...] Hillary Clinton mentioned autism in her speech at the Democratic National Convention and, last night, Bill Clinton did too (”I will never forget the parents of children with autism and other severe conditions who told me on the campaign trail that they couldn’t afford health care and couldn’t qualify their kids for Medicaid unless they quit work or got a divorce”). Will Obama; will McCain…….. [...]

The woman is dead.

I’d say that’s pretty tragic.

And for Bill Clinton too (via KRDO):

” I will never forget the parents of children with autism and other severe conditions who told me on the campaign trail that they couldn’t afford health care and couldn’t qualify their kids for Medicaid unless they quit work or got a divorce.”

As for the tragic comment, I would agree that it was the conglomeration of ALL the different aspects of the situation, and not the simple fact of having two autistic kids, that Hillary was calling tragic.

And as for autism becoming an issue in this election? I think it might, for good or ill. I seem to recall hearing Biden slip autism into his speech last night.

Autism Speaks, yeah that’s a way to get the autistic vote

LISTENING to autistics apparently has no political affiliation either. Well, Obama managed to get past my whole Uncanny Valley thing, but the rest don’t even bother trying. Shows how much they ACTUALLY care about that mom and her 2 kids, eh?
