Hi
My resource is Treehouse , when I first became step mum to the boys I looked on the NAS site but I didnt think it was very useful.
Like Josie I hadnt heard of the Age of Autism but will take a look, so thankyou again :)

It would be very interesting to know where teachers go for autism information.
Do they go to the NAS, Treehouse, Teachernet? How can we find out?

Hi Elena
Yes, Kelly on the Hyperlexia board is a secondary school teacher so she might have some info. I was tempted to ask her about autism training for teachers but thought I better let her get settled first!!

This is very good and has lots of info about ASD and disability discrimination.

We had to take Serge to a DLA tribunal last year and the NAS site was an amazingly useful resource. I think if you're looking for something specific it's the place to start. I understand they will be introducing some community/forum elements soon too.

Also, there are some great bloggers out there. I really used to enjoy Kristina Chew's blog Autism Vox but she closed that down. Now she has a new one here: http://autism.typepad.com/
Great writing about their 'journey' with their son Charlie.

I'm curious - what are your top web resources for issues pertaining to autism?
Perhaps it's a useful website or just a great blog.
For me, I really like the following:
- Facebook & Twitter of course. I can ask anything and get an answer very quickly.
- Age of Autism is another favourite
- The NAS website is always helpful
- I also use the TreeHouse website but that's a given!
I have lots more but will kick it off with just these for now. :-)
