{Disarmed} Autism Speaks Lauds Congressional Approval of Landmark $7.5 Million Military Appropriation for Autism Research

[Guest guest]



Autism Speaks, a non-profit organization dedicated to increasing awareness of autism and raising money to fund autism research, today praised Congress for including a $7.5 million line item for Department of Defense-funded autism research in the final Fiscal 2007 Department of Defense Appropriations bill. The bill now goes to the President for his signature. This newly-created Department of Defense research program will complement the autism research funding already sponsored by the National Institutes of Health. Each year the Department of Defense invests tens of millions of dollars in various medical research programs. In FY 2005, for example, the DOD funded breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and prostate cancer research initiatives. This appropriation measure marks the first time such spending has been directed toward research into autism.
