On this site you will find much needed information about autism. It has so many useful facts and other such things. Autism Speaks raises awareness about autism- on this website you will also find out about that. It explains what autism is, how to treat it, and also how to help when it occurs in your family. Also on this website you will find out how you can get involved. Bob and Suzanna Wright founded Autism Speaks. This site is useful because it has so much stuff about autism that could help me.


2. http://www.autism-society.org/site/PageServer

Autism Society is basically the same as Autism Speaks- it explains what autism is. It also explains what life is like living with autism. This site also has many useful facts and research. Along with the research, there are programs for autism. Another thing you would find is stories from real life people who live with autism, family members of autistic people, and professionals that know about autism. The Autism Society created this website. It may be useful to my topic because it also has so much information on autism.


3. http://www.scautism.org/

This site is basically exactly the same as Autism Society but it mainly focuses on the state of South Carolina. On this site you will find information on autism, events in your area, conferences and workshops for parents and teachers that have autistic children, how to get involved, and lastly, pictures. This site may be useful because it has so much information that on autism right here in my great state of South Carolina.

 This website talks about autism in schools. On this site you will find number facts such as how many autistic children are in schools, support for autism in schools, bullying, training, and many other things.
