Help for Parents

We have been busy working with Steve Suderman, Director of “Beyond the Spectrum: A Family’s Year Confronting Autism” in providing content for the documentary webpage. Also we have been preparing resources with the input from our partners, all experienced in various fields of study surrounding Autism, covering a multitude of Diets, and Therapies. We have a variety of Topics that we are currently working on (See the list below). Please sign-up and select the Topics that you are interested in. We are also busy completing a “General Guide to Autism for New Parents”. If you sign-up you will be notified as soon as it is ready.
