As of October 1, the 20-year-old federal Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC) has been inoperative for one year. The IACC’s previous members, drawn from federal agencies and the autism community, saw their terms of service expire at the end of September 2019 and, to date, no new members have been appointed. A National Institute of Mental Health executive said the process of selecting new members is underway.
