A letter of welcome from MAAP Professional Advisor, Tony Attwood

Welcome to The OASIS @ MAAP!

It's with great pleasure that I welcome you to The OASIS @ MAAP. This new web site combines two highly respected entities - OASIS (Online Asperger Syndrome Information and Support) which I created in 1993 and THE SOURCE, the online resource for Susan Moreno's nonprofit organization, MAAP Services. Susan and I are very proud of the result. I am certain that The OASIS @ MAAP will continue to provide the highest quality of information, resources, and support to the Asperger Syndrome/High Functioning Autism/PDD-nos community.

Supreme Court Upholds Healthcare Reform Law

This morning, July 28, the US Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act, the highly controversial healthcare reform law. The main question before the court was the "individual mandate", the requirement that all Americans purchase health insurance by 2014 or pay a penalty. The Court declared today that the individual mandate is constitutional. According to the Court, the penalty is a tax, and falls within Congress's authority to tax under the Interstate Commerce Clause of the Constitution.
