Sorry but the belief that the ADA is going to do anything for these kids, to me as a person on the spectrum, is nieve. Do the research, at the very least google "unemployment rate for persons with autism". The last statistc I heard is that it is 80% unemployment and the 20% that are employed are in part time work and work well below their abilities. Try to find out the % of persons on the spectrum who are making a "livable wage" my guess is that it is under 1%. Children have autism, not adults and a wheelchair ramp is more tangable to a "normal" person than a light that doesn't flicker (because the "normal" person can't see the difference). The accomidations for a person on the spectrum are often SO much less dramatic than say a wheelchair ramp that they get discounted.
