HR 1008 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Resolution; Profound Autism Day.

This resolution designates March 17, 2025, as "Profound Autism Day" in Oklahoma. It recognizes individuals with profound autism - those requiring 24/7 care, often with severe intellectual disabilities or minimal speech - who are frequently excluded from research and support services. The resolution cites CDC data showing 26.7% of autistic children (about 1 in 4) have profound autism, and notes they are more likely to be female, from minority groups, or have additional health challenges. It aims to raise public awareness and support for this community within Oklahoma. (Note: This is a ceremonial resolution, not a law with policy changes.)
