autism resource

I received an e-mail from Easter Seals today with an interesting link:

Information on Autism Services in Your State Now Available

Easter Seals and the Autism Society of America have prepared a state-of-the-state report of autism services in the 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The profiles highlight the number of children with autism, private health insurance coverage for autism, and other state-led resources. This information will be regularly updated throughout the year.
View your state's autism profile at
http://www.easterseals.com/autismprofiles.
This information may already be out there, but I've personally never found such a simple resource to see even information about my own state, much less the rest of the country...

WOW!! That's great!
In Canada (Ontario, at least) Easter Seal is only available to help families with children with physical disabilities. Children with autism do not recieve any support from Easter Seals.
