Protect the New Hampshire Autism Council
The New Hampshire Autism Council has not always worked perfectly. Like many advisory groups, it has faced challenges in the past around organization and impact. At the same time, the council has been moving in a better direction. In recent years, it has worked to bring together autistic self-advocates, families, service providers, and state leaders to improve policies and services across New Hampshire. The council has started to rebuild momentum and create a space where people affected by autism can help shape solutions. HB 1337 would eliminate the Autism Council without creating a replacement. Ending the council now could stop that progress just as improvements are beginning to happen and take shape.
Contacting your legislators helps them understand that the answer is not to eliminate the council, but to continue improving it and building on the progress made.You can review the council’s work through its meeting agendas and minutes here:
