We've continued to try to educate law enforcement and still have some pretty bad incidents happening. Hopefully we've made some difference. But one of the things that we did, and we expanded this group to the Autism Society of America, and it became a committee called Safe and Sound through the Autism Society of America.

Yeah, it is great. But I wish we had more resources, and I wish we had a more national legislation, if that makes sense, because it's spotty. It's here and there, and Virginia is trying to do stuff, and, you know, everybody's trying to do their own thing, and I wish we had something more uniform.

Right, right. The thing about it is, say there's a bad incident and somebody with autism is hurt or killed in a law enforcement custody or, you know, with any first responder.
