PDD and Autism Related Links

Below are some links that you may find useful. Most links are Autism in general; hopefully, we will be adding new PDD links as found. If you have any additional links you think I should include, please e-mail the address and a description to me. Happy surfing!  Just added IEP links at the bottom.   Also, if you find that one of the links are no longer valid, would you please e-mail me and let me know.  Thanks
