SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (ABC 4 Utah) - After an emotional hearing at the Utah state capitol a bill that would help parents struggling with kids affected by autism could receive financial help treating their sons and daughters. Currently, the bill is on the way to the house for a final vote and could be decided on next week. Families need help and they need help now, said Andrea Griggs, a mother of a autistic child.
