But Texas wants to eliminate the state program, which allows some families to pay nothing for services, because of state budget cuts. In its budget request to the Legislature for the 2028-2029 biennium, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) proposed eliminating funding for the Children’s Autism Program (CAP) entirely, stunning advocates, providers and parents.

As a parent to a child with moderate autism, the services these kids need make a huge difference. Losing it would be devastating. Fuck these people.

    Just like Texas to hurry the brain drain along. What a massive state of massive ¢unts.

    Remember this when you vote. If there's someone in your life who votes Republican but still has some semblance of a heart, remind them of this and the fact that Texas is sitting on billions of unused taxpayer dollars.

    This isn't cost-saving, it's cruelty to win points with a shrinking but equally cruel base.
