From Jo Rudy, your Guide to Autism Spectrum Disorders

If you spend more than a few minutes online researching autism, you WILL find conflicting options about causes, treatments, and "myths." It's virtually impossible to KNOW for sure what caused your child's autism or what will effectively treat or even cure it. That's why it makes sense to read, learn, act - and then take a step back. By plunging in deeply, you can easily become overwhelmed, confused, and have little energy left over to spend quality time with your child, your partner and yourself.
