Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 17, 2025, as Profound Autism Awareness Day in the State of New York

This is a symbolic resolution (not a law) passed by the New York Assembly. It requests Governor Hochul to officially proclaim March 17, 2025, as "Profound Autism Awareness Day" in New York State. The resolution aims to increase public awareness about profound autism - a subset of autism spectrum disorder characterized by significant intellectual disability, limited communication, and high support needs - based on CDC statistics showing 1 in 4 autistic children have this condition. As a commemorative measure, it does not create new policies or funding but encourages recognition and support efforts.
