About the Autism 1 Conference - I may try to go to this.  I'm not too far away

(in KC, MO).  I was looking through my Flexible Spending Account information &

found some stuff that may help some of you.  Now you can get reimbursed for

attending these conferences, but only for the conference fee, not the hotel or

transportation costs.  Also, for those of you doing the GFCF diet, you can use

your FSA account for this too.  I don't believe that suppplements are covered,

but this may help with the expenses for this diet. 

 

This is for those people whose employer (or spouse's) have a FSA health care

account.  A FSA account is money that you deduct from your paycheck & is

pre-tax. You turn in receipts & get reimbursed after the fact.  It covers things

like copays, out-of-pocket medical expenses,  & over-the-counter drugs such as

Advil, Miralax, cold medicine, even Airborne is now covered.  If you have an

FSA, you can also use it for day care, but only for when you are working.  It

does not matter how old your child is, you can get an exemption based on his/her

disability.  I had to fax them a note from my son's pediatrician.   This is

something that you set up when you sign up for your health insurance  & other

benefits before year-end, so if you haven't set it up for 2009, you need to look

at doing this for 2010.
