Parenting Your Complex Child

This page was last updated: March 29, 2011

I decided not to put many links in my book because of my own frusration at going to the links in other books only to find them no longer available.  I will maintain helpful links here for you as I discover them.  If you have some you found helpful please share them with me so that I can share them with others on this page.

I really like this site.  It has helpful articles and information.  Bonnie Sayers, the Autism Spectrum Editor also does book reviews.  Having spent a lot of money on books I expected to be helpful but weren't, I appreciate having a book review before I buy.

I love Bonnie's article about stock stuffers for children on the Autism Spectrum.  You can read it at http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art36438.asp

Autism Awareness is a site done Amanda, the mother of an Autistic son.  She gathered many links trying to understand her own son.  She has an exhaustive list of links and articles.  Presently she is expanding to many international links.

www.autism.org is the first Autism website we found several years ago.  The helpful articles have really jumpstarted my understanding of my son and got the creative juices rolling to adapt things to Billy Ray's needs.

http://www.autismwebsite.com/ari/index.htm.  Autism Research Institute has many helpful articles especially relative to nutritional approaches.  I also like that they train physicians in treating Autism.  On their DAN page you can find a list of certified physicians in their program.

Special Needs Future Planning is a website owned by Brian Rubin, an attorney specializing in special needs families.  Mr. Rubin is the father of Mitch, age 25, who experiences Autism and other special needs.  I found the site full of helpful information.
