Autism Links
Has autism appeared in your life? Here are some sites to check out. In slow development is our Autism Book List. (Both autism sites will be under development for some time. If you have any links or books you'd like to share, please email Scott.)
Societies & Org.'s of various types.
- Autism Society of America (ASA)
One of the most well-funded and oldest organizations, though a bit on the conservative side.
- Center for the Study of Autism (CSA)
Located in Oregon. Their website has lots of great links.

Equivalet to the Autism Society of America.
- Cure Autism Now (CAN)
Founders of the largest autism gene bank. Science news, fundraising, information. (Also CANfoundation.org).

Good organization primarily involved with promoting and supporting scientific research.
- NIMH says...
You may not like them, but this website is one of the most informational as far as traditional views go.

Pretty good website, some good links, but shows how little funding there is for government assistance.

Some good links, but they really need help with their website design.
