About This Community

Welcome! Autism can be a very misunderstood condition. We invite you to join other parents of autistic children to share your stories of triumph and frustration. We hope you will find a place of support and understanding from others who understand the circumstances you face.

Please Note: This iVillage service area is designed for parent-to-parent support and educational purposes only. You should not rely on this information as a substitute for personal medical attention, diagnosis or hands-on treatment. If you are concerned about your health or that of a child, please consult your family's health provider. See iVillage Inc. Legal Disclaimer. Privacy Policy.
