A RESOLUTION recognizing March 17, 2026, as Profound Autism Day in Kentucky.

This resolution designates March 17, 2026, as "Profound Autism Day" in Kentucky. It symbolically recognizes individuals with profound autism - defined as those requiring 24/7 care due to severe intellectual disability or minimal communication - and their caregivers, highlighting their unique needs as noted in CDC research showing 26.7% of autistic children in the U.S. have profound autism. The resolution does not create new laws or allocate funding; it is a symbolic gesture to raise awareness and support for this community.
