It's currently money that's being eaten up and really end of the life care, end of illness care when it just consumes so many resources. When if we could move things upstream, we could really mitigate downstream costs. And this is not just some hope or wish. This has been demonstrated by science. But our medical system makes profits constantly. based upon quarterly and yearly budgets.

In other words, we don't have budgets that reflect the return on investment for a longer period of time, which if we did, we would pay for things that we don't pay for today that would have cumulatively much bigger return on investment. The bottom line is we just need to have a more sophisticated approach.

And I think that when I kept running for office, I would have certain constituencies that would support me. What they asked for, I prioritized because they were influential in my political career. What I find now with these issues is we don't have the political power that we need to get policymakers to pay

close enough attention to what we need as they try to make sense of all the demands on their time and energy. And so at the end of the day, I really see this as a political power issue. I think the Kennedy Forum, which I started on the 50th anniversary of President Kennedy signing the Community Mental Health Act of 1963,

You can't get the action unless the elected officials really see the power of this advocacy world. Now, I have to say, for autism, they have done a fantastic job at really bringing political power to bear on behalf of the autism community. It really is impressive.
