The internet is a fine thing but we need to be wise consumers of information. Read with a critical eye. Check the research. Be suspicious of miracle cures or promises to make all the difficulties go away. Below are some web sites with ASD information. At the time they were listed, all links worked. Things change daily on the internet, though and we apologize for any links that may be broken.
