And last, but certainly not least, Autism Salutes all the Mother and Father Warriors who faxed and made phone calls to hundreds of Representative's and Senator's offices to inform them of this extremely important briefing and ask for a committment of their attendance.

This briefing was a huge success because of everyone's deep love for our children, and our solid committment to not allow this to happen to another generation of children.
