Persons living with an Autism Spectrum Disorder have the right to coordinated and appropriate treatment, programming and support services. Adequate and appropriate services continue to be difficult to find for individuals with autism spectrum disorders and their families, even though they have become much more visible.  There is a continuing need to increase the availability of these services. Information about all treatment and programming strategies should be made available to individuals and families so that informed decisions can be made as to treatment pathways for each person based on individualized needs.  Even though many strategies claim “superiority”, all should be examined for their efficacy in respects to each individual. Due to the fact that the autism spectrum population is increasing dramatically, the services that are available must experience a growth that will meet this ever growing population.  Service availability must also grow at a rate to adequately provide services on a scale less that is sufficient to meet the needs of all.  Any other strategy will only leave many individual’s needs unaddressed.
