what the candidates say about autism

I voted yesterday in the South Carolina presidential primary. Autism was one of my concerns along with education, the economy and taxes and the candidate's personality and record.

The first site is sponsored by the American Association of People with Disabilities, the 2nd is a side by side comparison of what the candidates had to say, specifically questions concerning Americans with disabilities

the next sites are from democratic candidates, each w/ his/her specific policy/statement on autism. I searched all the republican candidates sites and they didn't not have a specific statement concerning autism nor a search feature on their site. It think this issue is just getting more air time w/ the democrats
