Representative Grisamore has been quick to use individuals with autism as a stepping stone in his career. But, what has he really done? Gone all over the state promoting himself as the autism savior?
How many of the children in his district have been forced to drop out of school, attend private schools, been sent to Ozanam, etc. while he stood back and watched? Has he filed any bills that would hold DESE or the school districts accountable? I don't think so. He refuses to.
He is endorsed by NEA, the Superintendent's association, the principal's association, etc. How can you accept those endorsements and then write bills that would foce those people to do what is right? You can't.
Insurance is not the only need. We need to make sure that these children get the education and services that will help them to be successful. It won't happen as long as our legislators are in bed with the very people that are denying them.
Is Jeff Grisamore really the champion of those that are affected by autism or does he use them as stepping stones in his political career? What is he doing to stop restraint, seclusion, or abuse? What is he doing to make sure that they are receiving the education and services that they are entitled to?
