This post is for Amy and any others who may be interested in knowing more about autism and autistic spectrum disorders. I'm so pleased you asked, Amy!

As per Amy's request, here are some informative websites on the topic of autism:

Austism Today online magazine

"Autism Today is the leading source of objective information about Autism Spectrum Disorders, including Autistic Disorder, Asperger's Syndrome, Rett's Syndrome, Childhood Disintegrative Disorder & other Pervasive Developmental Disorders Not Otherwise Specified."

Autism Resources

This site is maintained by web designer, John Wobus, whose son is autistic. His son is grown now, but he continues to maintain this collection of links and information about resources, with the aim of being helpful to other parents of autistic children.

O.A.S.I.S. -Online Asperger's Syndrome Information and Support

One of the first sources of information about Asperger's Syndrome. The left panel links to a number of interesting pages explaining Asperger's (which is Robyn's diagnosis) and other disorders in the autism spectrum. Be sure to check out the "Other AS pages" link and the "Other Autism Pages" link.

The Australian Scale for Asperger's Syndrome 

This is the diagnostic tool developed by an Australian psychologist, Tony Attwood. He has also written a book for parents of Asperger's kids. I find it's the best way to describe to people what Asperger's Syndrome is.

I'll post more as I discover them.
