The Autistic Spectrum |
The autistics.org domain hosts a number of autism-related websites by individuals and organizations.
You can make your own cards to carry (for you, family,
caregivers, etc.) to briefly explain Autism to strangers. Avery Ink Jet Business Cards ( #27881) can be found at any
major office supply store for anywhere between $7 and $9 for 150 cards (10 cards per sheet). You can put any website at the
bottom as a reference or the number to the Autism Society which is 1-800-3AUTISM.
