Having worked with many children from across the spectrum and their parents, the most able parents became experts on it. 'Justmoi',1 in 10 children are believed to have a learning disorder of some type, so good luck to schools trying to filter them out and still make profit!! Knowledge is power in the case of Autism and I have found international seminars on it enlightening and inspiring when designing programmes to suit children from the spectrum. Make sure any organization or Institutes(I hate that word)you choose to assist you, views your child as 'unique' and not just like the rest. In my experience, I have never met two children exactly alike and with Autism its definitely not a 'one solution for all' type disability. Form a parent support group while your here. That will be your biggest asset. After attending professional devel. on traits of Autism, everyone comes out thinking 'thats me!!'. Most I.T. addicts have traits! (So how long have I been online?)
