AJR 90 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designates March 17 of each year as "Profound Autism Day."

AJR 90 designates March 17 of each year as "Profound Autism Day" in New Jersey to raise awareness about people with profound autism and their caregivers. The resolution specifically highlights individuals requiring 24/7 care due to severe intellectual disabilities or minimal language, who are often excluded from support programs. It requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation to recognize this day, aligning with CDC findings that 26.7% of autistic children have profound autism. This is a commemorative resolution with no new policy requirements or funding.
