Resources for the Newly Diagnosed

If your child has just received a diagnosis, you may not know what to do or where to go. We didn't.  We had a hard time finding resources in our area, too.  You are not alone in parenting a child in the Autism Spectrum.  There are thousands of us out there. We took the same first steps you are taking as you begin your journey into the complex world of Autism.
