Parents W/ Autistic Children Resources

[ButterflyLady]

I know I hadn't gotten anything put in here yet. The main thing is, Autism Speaks does NOT help the people that they claim to help, there are other resources that actually put all of the money that they raise towards the families that need the help. Many of us here are boycotting Autism Speaks for this very reason. I will definitely look up to find the other organizations that put 100% of their donations towards the people that need it instead of trying to make a profit off it like Autism Speaks.

Some of the links I have provided are from a medical standpoint but still offers good information. The travel one is especially important since many of us have anxiety attacks when thinking about traveling and there are ways to help us cope with it.

Also I am doing my very best to completely avoid Autism Speaks, I don't even want to use their information!!!
