Autism and Asperger Resources |
Caring for any child is exhausting, but caring for a special needs child can take a huge toll on the entire family. If you have an Asperger’s or autistic child, we strongly recommend you find a support group where you can share, vent your own feelings and get additional information. The resources below provide excellent information, along with helpful links to support groups and other services. www.aspergersyndrome.org AUTISM SOCIETY OF AMERICA (301) 657-0881 or (800) 328-8476 NATIONAL AUTISM HOTLINE (304) 525-8014 READINGS “Autism Today”: wwww.autismtoday.com Online directory of programs and services offering easy to locate physicians, psychologists, speech, occupational and behavioral therapists, schools, camps, programs, recreation and much more in one convenient place.
