Description

Rebecca Yeh's (Miss Northwest 2012) platform is "A Voice for Autism." Her brother, Phil, has pervasive developmental disorder (PDD), an autism spectrum disorder. Several of Phil's autism providers since childhood explain what autism is, its challenges and what can be done. Rebecca advocates increased federal funding for autism research as autism is underfunded compared to other diseases with comparable US economic impacts. She asks the public to urge their congressional representatives to join the bi-partisan Congressional Autism Caucus. See Phil through the years and watch his story including an interview with him.
