Maddy summaryThis bill is a House Resolution that designates March 17, 2026, as Profound Autism Day in South Carolina. It aims to raise awareness and promote understanding of profound autism, which affects individuals with severe intellectual disabilities or minimal functional language who require continuous, lifelong care from an adult caregiver. The resolution highlights that these individuals are often underrepresented in research and underserved by existing support programs, and it acknowledges findings from a 2023 CDC study showing that approximately one in four children diagnosed with autism meet the criteria for profound autism. This measure is a symbolic recognition rather than a policy change, focusing on honoring the community and their caregivers rather than implementing new programs or funding.
