Autism resources have exploded so that it can be difficult for parents to know where to start their research. What are the best sites for autism resources? Here is a list of the first places I send my clients. Yes, there are many more and I will continue to update this list. So keep coming back, or let me know via my Contact Page if you think there is another site I should add!
Please remember that you can get free Internet access at your local library. And much information is now available in many different languages.
*This list is not meant to be exhaustive but rather it reflects the most common sites and autism resources I have found, as an autism advocate, to be the most helpful to my clients. These sites more than meet the basic needs for any parent of a special needs child.
