This Group is for United States military families that are dealing with Autism, Asperger's Syndrome, PDD-NOS, or Hyperlexia.

This group is dedicated to individuals who face the daily challenges of raising a child on the autistic spectrum minus the benefit of a life partner. It is a place to share any thought, experience or effective solution that can aid one another on this journey. This is to help our children but also to help ourselves. We all know that our children come first and they will always be our first dedication, but a single parent needs to take out a moment and reflect.

This list is designed to be a place where siblings of autistic adults and children can come to to talk about experiences, thoughts, and feelings about our brothers and sisters. This is a safe haven for discussing issues that only other siblings can relate to. No one else really understands some of the things we go through, but here we can try to understand each other. Please note that this list is restricted to siblings only, please no parents or professionals.

Welcome to the Autism Dads eGroup. This group is for fathers of children with autism only please.

This group will focus on issues relating to daily living needs for autistic adults, in an environment that is positive towards autism. Many of us have significant and real trouble with things like housing, eating, obtaining services, communication, cleanliness, work, access to medical care, finances, transportation, and other "basic" parts of life that are taken for granted by most of the neurotypical world. The group will be a safe place for autistic people to discuss troubles in these areas.

This list is unmoderated and unrestricted. The principle aim of this list is to provide a discussion forum for parents of children on the autism spectrum who are avoiding gluten and casein and other substances in their children's diets. We hope that the discussions will include practical information and tips on following a GFCF(etc) diet; scientific research and opinion; the latest developments in understanding GFCF(etc) diet-related health problems; your personal stories and experiences with relation to GFCF(etc) problems; information on what food is GFCF(etc)and what is not; tips on how to eat out of the house; recipes and tips on how to cook and prepare GFCF(etc) food; what vitamins, minerals, herbs and other supplements may be appropriate for a child with autism, how to cope with difficult diet demands, plus support for parents.

The Autism and ABA list is an open, unmoderated forum for discussing anything related to autism. Much of our discussion centers around Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), including areas of ABA such as teaching Verbal Behavior (VB) and Natural Environment Training (NET). However, any and every topic related to autism is welcome! We're a quiet list, but we have a healthy mix of parents, professionals, and others involved with autism in some way.

This group is for parents and professionals who acknowledge the benefits of good ABA in educating their learners with autism, but want to explore how RDI can fit into their programs to fill in the missing pieces. It is a place to discuss any needs of your learners, and discuss resolution of the needs within either the ABA or the RDI framework. This group especially welcomes those parents who have successfully implemented verbal behavior, pivotal response or eclectic ABA programs.
