His 8 year old son is autistic and goes to school 10 hours a day He goes to public school for 4 hours and then from 1-6pm , he goes to a private school especially for autistic children, they have to pay the deductible which is $500 a month. The state of Texas does nothing for his autism now. We have to pay any extra premiums and expenses come out of their pockets.

They have checked every thing possible so my son got a high deductible low premium policy for him and they are going to get him but that boy is doing so good with the special training
can and they may lose that. This is Texas, home and capitol of the Bubbas.
