HR 1008 Oklahoma House · 2025 Regular Session

Resolution; Profound Autism Day.

This resolution designates March 17, 2025, as "Profound Autism Day" in Oklahoma. It aims to raise public awareness about profound autism - a condition requiring 24/7 care for individuals with severe intellectual disability or minimal/no language - highlighting that 1 in 4 autistic children have this need. The resolution references CDC data showing these individuals face higher rates of health challenges, exclusion from support services, and disproportionate representation among females, racial minorities, and low-income families. As a symbolic recognition, it does not create new laws or funding but seeks to foster community inclusion and support for this underserved group.
