The resolution recognizes profound autism as a severe subtype of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that necessitates lifelong care and support. It highlights the significant challenges faced by individuals with profound autism, including severe intellectual disabilities, communication difficulties, and higher rates of self-injurious behaviors and seizure disorders. The resolution notes that approximately 1 in 4 children diagnosed with ASD have profound autism, indicating a substantial need for specialized services and interventions to address their unique challenges and those of their caregivers.

In light of these issues, the resolution commends the efforts of individuals and organizations supporting those with profound autism and encourages public awareness campaigns to educate the community about the condition. It calls for increased understanding, acceptance, and support for individuals with profound autism and their families, culminating in a gathering on March 17, 2025, to further highlight these important issues.
