New Jersey Working on Asperger Aid Bill

The state of New Jersey is working on an Asperger Aid Bill in order to help people with Asperger's Syndrome with employment issues and learn how to be self-sufficient.  One state legistlator named Joan Voss has been pushing on this bill for three years because she has a son with Asperger's Syndrome.  This bill also has a program to help employers become more aware of the neurological disorder and understand it better.  It's a push towards getting more people with Asperger's Syndrome hired.

New Jersey has a large population of children and adults diagnosed with both Autism and Asperger's Syndrome.  It's nice to know that their lawmakers are making efforts to help them be a part of their community.
