By my count, there were 13 witnesses that appeared before the Senate standing committee. That evidence improved the bill. One change that was inspired.... The original bill, in the preamble, described autism as a lifelong neurodevelopmental impairing disorder. It caused the Senate to take out the word “impairing”.
Do you have any thoughts about the word “disorder”?
There are elements in the autistic community that perhaps don't share the view that it's a disorder. Maybe it's a condition.
Do you have any thoughts about the terminology used in the bill in that respect?
