Good websites and book recommendations

[Guest guest]

Since I have a 15 month old, I have a lot of friends with 15 month

olds. And unfortunately, two of them are already seeing a lot of

warning signs for autism in their baby boys. The good news is that

their pediatricians are on top of it and sending them for evaluations

over the next couple weeks.

Naturally, they are freaking out, and doing what I think is the worst

possible thing...reading everything online that they can google. You

all know how incredibly overwhelming that can be, especially before

you even get a diagnosis!

I know some good sites, but I want to get some opinions on where you

found the most helpful and most reliable information about autism.

Especially from those of you who are on the autism spectrum, because I

know your advice on what is most important to know will probably be

different from what I might think is important. Books too. I've read

tons of good books, and some not so good ones, but of course I haven't

read everything out there.

Thanks!
