Arthur Virgílio Neto proposes expanded autism public policies

Arthur Virgílio Neto, a candidate for federal deputy representing the MDB, has included the expansion of public policies for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as a central pillar of his campaign. Drawing on his experience from three terms as the mayor of Manaus, Neto aims to advocate in the National Congress for more effective inclusion, early diagnosis, and specialized support.

His proposals focus on strengthening the public health network to ensure multidisciplinary monitoring and early identification of needs. In the education sector, he advocates for better training for professionals to support autistic students and ensure their participation in schools. Additionally, Neto emphasizes the need for continuous support for families and policies that promote autonomy and social inclusion for people with autism throughout all stages of life.
