While it is very powerful … looks can be deceiving. If you go the National Autism Associations website it is plastered with adds for vitamin therapies and the research that they support is related to Mercury Exposure and GI issues. You may still choose to support it, but just be aware of what you are supporting.

Thanks Jenn – very powerful – we really need laws here – we don't have any protection for our kids – our disabled. I remember years ago Sabrina mentioning this and how very far behind we were in that area from the US. I will post this on my facebook and vote – they look like a good organization.

For those of you switching from Direct Funding to Invoice, MCFD has created a guide to explain the differences. The Invoice Funding uses a bizarre accounting method that only a bureaucrat could invent. There is a requirement to allocate your funds before the money is spent and there is no provision to allow you to pay your staff on time.
Nonetheless, this guide explains it well.

My only advice is to have a stiff drink before you read it.

Hi everyone,
