## Resource

In the Season Two finale, the moms discuss Heather's trip to the Authentic Awareness Autism Assembly in DC, focusing on the needs of individuals with severe autism, who make up 26.7% of the ASD spectrum. These individuals are often left out of research and important legislative discussions. We will cover key advocacy issues and gaps in support for those at the severe end of the spectrum. Thank you for your support—listen, share, and join us for Season 3 in September!
