New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine recently signed a bill called "The Asperger's Syndrome Pilot Initiative" into law. Assemblyman Eric Munoz, MD, sponsored this bill to help people with Asperger's Syndrome with services such as education, housing, counseling, medical, and employment opportunities. Social skills training will also be provided.
This new law also helps people with other neurological disorders like Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
Obviously, New Jersey is leading the way in helping children and adults with neurological disorders so that they can be able to live independently. New Jersey has a higher autism/Asperger's rate in their state.
Thanks, guys! We need guys like you up here in Massachusetts.
A special thank you to Assemblywoman Joan Voss who also worked on this initiative.
