RELATIVE TO WORLD AUTISM
AWARENESS DAY ASSEMBLY. YOUR
RECOGNIZED AT YOUR DESK THANK
YOU MADAM SPEAKER MEMBERS TODAY
I RISE PROUDLY TO PRESENT ACR
ONE SIXTY FIVE WHICH
COMMEMORATES APRIL SECOND AS
WORLD AUTISM AWARENESS DAY.
AUTISM IS BECOMING ONE OF THE
MOST COMMON DEVELOPMENTAL
DISABILITIES AFFECTING PEOPLE IN
CALIFORNIA. TWENTY TWENTY THE
UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF
HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
REPORTED THAT APPROXIMATELY ONE
OUT OF EVERY FIFTY FOUR CHILDREN
IN THE UNITED STATES IS
DIAGNOSED WITH AUTISM. AUTISM
AFFECTS PEOPLE FROM ALL
BACKGROUNDS BUT
DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTS
ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES DUE TO THE COST AN
INACCESSIBILITY OF NECESSARY
RESOURCES. INDIVIDUALS WITH
AUTISM OFTEN REQUIRE A LIFETIME
OF SPECIALIZED MEDICAL AND
COMMUNITY SUPPORT SERVICES TO
INSURE THEIR HEALTH AND SAFETY.
AS A RESULT MEICAL EXPENSES FOR
CHILDREN WITH AUTISM ARE
TYPICALLY FOUR TO SIX TIMES
GREATER THAN THEIR PEERS.
ADDITIONALLY YOUNG ADULTS WITH
AUTISM ARE LESS LIKELY TO
CONTINUE THEIR EDUCATION PASSED
SECONDARY SCHOOL AND 25% DO NOT
HAVE A JOB OR PURSUE HIGHER
EDUCATION AFTER LEAVING HIGH
SCHOOL. BECAUSE OF ITS
PREVALENCE AND THE COSTS ARE TO
AUTISM COMPOSE IT IS IMPERATIVE
THAT THIS LEGISLATURE DEDICATE
TIME TO HELPING CALIFORNIANS
BETTER UNDERSTAND THIS
DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITY. IT IS
IMPERATIVE THAT WE IN THE
LEGISLATURE PRIORITIZE FULLY
FUNDING OUR DEVELOPMENTAL
SERVICES SYSTEMS AND SPECIAL
EDUCATION PROGRAMS TO ENSURE
THAT FAMILIES REGARDLESS OF
INCOME ARE ABLE TO FIND QUALITY
RESOURCES FOR THEIR CHILDREN
WITH AUTISM. IT IS IMPERATIVE
THAT WE IN THE LEGISLATURE WORK
ON MEASURES THAT IMPROVE THE
QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THOSE WITH
AUTISM AND THEIR FAMILIES SO
THAT THEY CAN ALL REACH THEIR
FULL POTENTIAL. THIS IS AN
IMPORTANT ISSUE FOR MANY OF US
BECAUSE IT TOUCHES THE LIVES OF
MANY OF OUR KEY CONSTITUENTS AND
EVEN IMPACTS SOME OF US DIRECTLY
. I KNOW THIS FIRST HAND. ABOUT
SIXTEEN YEARS AGO GO I WAS
SITTING IN THE BACK OF A CAR
WITH MY MOM ARE SITTING IN THE
FRONT F THE CAR WITH MY MOM AND
IN THE BACKSEAT WAS MY TWO YEAR
OLD SLEEPING NIECE. WHO OUT OF
NO WHERE WOKE UP CRYING. BECAUSE
SHE WAS COLD. UT SHE COULDN'T
EXPRESS THAT. LATER SHE WOULD
BECOME DIAGNOSED AS SEVERELY
DEVELOPMENTALLY DELAYED
NONVERBAL AND ON THE AUTISM
SPECTRUM IT WAS A LITTLE GIRL
THAT HAD NOT ONE WORD IN HER
VOCABULARY. THAT COULDN'T WAKE
UP FROM THAT CAR AND SAY NOT
APATHY A SISSY I'M COLDS. AFTER
HER DIAGNOSIS IN HER IMMERSION
AND EARLY INTERVENTION SERVICES
THAT LITTLE GIRL WOULD COME TO
TALK AND BE A CHATTERBOX WHO WE
JOKE HAS NOT STOPPED TALKING. IT
WAS THE MAYOR WATCHING A MIRACLE
HAPPEN BEFORE OUR EYES AND THERE
ARE SO MANY FAMILIES LIKE LIKE
MINE THATNEED THAT EARLY
DIAGNOSIS THAT NEED THE
RESOURCES BUT IT'S NOT JUST
CHILDREN IT'S A LIFETIME
SPECTRUM DISORDER. STARDOLL NEED
SERVICES OUR SENIORS WITH AUTISM
NEED SERVICES AND WE HAVE THE
POWER IN THIS BODY CHU DRESS
THIS ISSUE TO BRING MORE
SERVICES TO PEOPLE ACROSS THE
SPECTRUM. I ASK FOR YOUR I.

AND MOTELS WERE THE THIRD MOST
COMMON VENUE FOR SEX TRAFFICKING
AS OF TWENTY NINETEEN THEY BEEN
ROUTINELY IN THE TOP THREE SINCE
TWENTY THIRTEEN AND IN A RECENT
STUDY BY THE PLAYERS PROJECT 75%
OF SURVIVORS SLASH VICTIMS OF
SEX TRAFFICKING COME INTO
CONTACT WITH THE HOTEL OR MOTEL
AT SOME POINT. AB SEVENTEEN

HOTEL MOTEL SUPERVISORS ARE IN A
UNIQUE POSITION TO HELP
INTERVENE IN TRAFFICKING. AND
GET PEOPLE HELP THEY NEED. THIS
BILL BUILDS ON SB NINE SEVENTY
