See if any of the following sites will help answer your questions.What legislation, codes of practice and regulations are in place to protect a child with autism?
The Individuals with DIsabilities Education act (Aka Special Education) requires that American public schools provide an appropriate public education (k-12) for all children with disabilities, including autism. The schools must admit the student and provide them with the appropriate education for their needs.
And in cases where the disability is severe, the school may also have to provide transitional education services until 22.
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 covers community supports for programs receiving public funding. They must provide non-discriminatory services to people with disabilities, including those with autism.
And then the Americans with Disabilities Act broadened this accommodation mandate, It required public accommodation of people with disabilities. The ADA differs from the Rehabilitation Act because it did not frame this as a 'treatment' or as a 'privllege' but now as a civil right.
