100 RSVPs so far

[Guest guest]

We just

received our 100th reply – and this does not include people

from Federal agencies, the media or the general public – That room will

be packed

A million thanks to everyone who made calls. This demonstrates the

power of autism parents in DC, to be sure. You ask them to send someone to the

briefing, and they send someone.
