Wisconsin Organizing 4 Autism Rights Now, or WOARN is an organization for people with autism, their families, friends and professionals to come together to work towards the following:
1. End the wait list so that there is full funding of appropriate levels of treatment for autism spectrum disorders (ASD)
2. Funding for services for individuals with ASD throughout their lifespan at appropriate levels
3. Tax credits for families who need someone to stay home to care for someone with ASD
4. Funding for research into ASD
5. Funding for respite care for families who need such services
WOARN will serve as a clearinghouse for legislative information, will distribute calls to action to members who can then act on those calls, and will work with other autism organizations to advance these goals.
We are used to fighting for services and our needs, WOARN will make these efforts concerted, thus making them more effective.
A squeaky wheel gets the grease, and a lot of squeaky wheels together will make such a loud noise they will be unable to put off the grease!
If WE do not use the wheels of democracy that have been designed to help the citizens benefit from their government, then we will be run over!
TOGETHER WE CAN!
