The FEAT-FMC web site averages 1,200 hits a month

There is a tremendous increase in the number of people requesting information on Autism. The requests are not restricted to parents of children with autism. The epidemic of autism will eventually touch all of our lives from family members to society which will be called on through their tax contributions to fund programs and services that the average family unit cannot possibly afford. Assuming you have already entered your name for our News Letter won't you please pass on our request to all you know to sign up to receive our News Letter. Thank you for your participation.

Progressive increases in subscriptions: Current goal 4,500 by June 2008. For the first time since embarking on building subscriptions I am behind by about 250 names.
