435 is the number of members in the U.S. House of
Representatives. That's a pretty big crowd,with differing
opinions. One thing that we can all agree on is the need for
additional autism research funding.

Right now, Congressmen Chris Smith (a Republican from New Jersey) and
Mike Doyle (a Democrat from Pennsylvania) are circulating what's
known as a Sign On or "Dear Colleague" Letter, that will
go in mid-March to top congressional leadership. The letter asks
their colleagues to sign-on with them in support of additional autism
research funding.

This could pay for projects that give us greater understanding about
the biology of autism, how to diagnose it earlier, how to help with
health conditions commonly experienced by people on the spectrum and
how to create more personalized supports and transition-to-adulthood
services based upon an individual's needs and strengths.

Would you be willing to take five minutes, as a constituent in their
district, to contact your U.S. representative and ask them to
sign onto this letter?
