About 200 people, including advocates for and parents of autistic children, gathered at the Bell Tower yesterday in Capitol Square. They spoke in favor of a bill that would require health insurers to provide coverage for the diagnosis and treatment of autism in individuals under 21. Coverage would be subject to an annual maximum benefit of $36,000.
