• Do you know of or have a child or adult who has some form of Autism? This is a group ran by an Unlocking Autism Rep for Michigan. All said and done I'm a concerned parent trying to make things easier for our children & adults with autism :-) Together we can bring this issue to the forefront & let our politicians know that we have an epidemic of autism. Together we can get more schools, services & better understanding doctors for our children.

• The Michigan FEAT mailing list was formed to help parents band together to create a "Families for Early Autism Treatment" group in our state. Once it's created the mailing list will be used for bulletins, announcements and as a general support forum for members. Michigan FEAT will be made up of individuals (mostly parents) who are dedicated to ensuring that children with an autism spectrum disorder recieve the best education, advocacy and support. This may include setting families up with information on state and federal resources, educating families on different types of therapies and pointing them in the right direction when they have chosen the therapy that is right for them. It may also include trying to start or change state programs to help families pay for therapy. We may have fundraisers and benefits to offset the cost of members' therapy they are providing. We may also have a reference and toy lending library. These are some of the things we would like to work on.

• A group where parents and people associated with autism can share information. Also where as a parent you can vent your frustration and obtain support to help you and your family cope with this terrible disability.
