Tebbe) The links assembled here are not necessarily endorsed
by the AHA. This page is intended to be a launching pad for a variety of
information related to PDD/Autistic spectrum disorders in general. So much is
still unknown about autism that we feel it is important to study as many views
and angles relating to the disorder as possible. Some of these pages contain
information that is controversial and unproven.
Editorial descrition has been excercised, however, to
provide sites that are relevant and (in the opinion of the webmaster), worth
visiting. As new resources are being added to the net daily, this list is by no
means exhaustive. If you would like your related page's link listed here, please
e-mail the information to the AHA
