I am also in Lee's Summit. I co-founded the Lee's Summit Autism Support Group because Lee's Summit is doing such a lousy job.

I have met with the superintendent, the school board, legislators, and the department of education about our issues. One and a half years later, nothing has changed.

Another issue is diagnosis. If you suspect that your child has autism, it takes up to a year to get into a qualified hospital to get a diagnosis. We know how precious that lost year can be.
