During the meeting, Claire and Eric discussed the serious challenges many families face today. These hurdles include long waitlists, limited provider availability in underserved regions, and the need for continued advocacy and support systems to ensure children and adults on the autism spectrum receive timely and effective care. They also emphasized the importance of thorough background checks for all individuals employed in serving the autism community, recognizing this as a critical safeguard for vulnerable populations and the families who depend on these services. ABSI is also grateful for Attorney General Rob Bonta’s longstanding concern for and support of the disability community. As an assemblymember, he consistently demonstrated care for these important issues, and in his elevated statewide position, ABSI is thankful to have a leader who continues to care deeply about autism and the broader disability community.

Eric expressed the importance of continued collaboration between service providers and state leadership to create long-term progress. “We are grateful for the opportunity to connect with Attorney General Bonta and highlight the real-world needs of neurodiverse people across California,” Eric stated. “By working together, we can strengthen these systems of care, improve service accessibility, and ensure families receive the support they deserve.”
