By Kathleen Kingsbury Boston (REUTERS) - Michael Giangregorio's son Nicholas was diagnosed as severely autistic when he was 18 months old. It's a formidable expense, but starting in January, Giangregorio's employer, JPMorgan Chase & Co, will chip in. The company announced in late November that it would add comprehensive autism coverage for expensive intensive therapies such as Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) to its health plan for 2014. The bank joins about 15 of its Fortune 100 peers, according to the advocacy group Autism Speaks, which expects that number to grow.
