Interesting article that shows the commitment of Detroit based DTE Energy to work with the government to provide benefits for workers with children with Autism. Without a change in state law, workers with autistic children will have to take time off work and pay out-of-pocket for care that can cost nearly $50,000 annually. It's sad because Michigan is losing specialists that treat children with Autism because they are getting paid for their services in other states. What are your thoughts on this?
It makes me extremely frustrated that parents who have fought for their child in life now have to fight for their healthcare among other things. For a condition that affects 35 million people world-wide, why is insurance coverage such a battle?
