Autism and Asperger's Disorder
Learn about neurodiversity through these websites. Autism and Asperger's disorder are neurological problems that affect the functioning of children in profound ways, and range in severity of symptoms. These sites are helpful for the parents of children who have been diagnosed with Autism, as well as for adults who are learning about the effects of autism on their own lives. Many young adults who are on the Autism Spectrum were not diagnosed properly as children and receive the diagnosis later in life.
