Free Booklet about Autism and Autistic Spectrum Disorders
It’s a big, scary world out there for those of us that have children with special needs. I am often asked about what to watch for, how I knew he was different and what we did that made the most impact on his development. I wish I had all the answers. If you have similar questions about autistic behavior in your child, here is a free booklet from the National Institute of Mental Health that may offer some guidance for you if you believe (or already know) that their child has a pervasive developmental disorder. This free guide (A Parent’s Guide to Autism Spectrum Disorder) helps parents understand what autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is, recognize common signs and symptoms, and find the resources they need. – International
You can either order the hard copy of the booklet or download it to your computer. I usually do both. I save PDF’s and sync them with my iPad using Dropbox. If you aren’t familiar with it, you should check it out. You can use it to get access to your files on your computer from any device that can run Dropbox. It runs on PC, Linux, Mac, iPhone/iPad, Android, Blackberry and Kindle Fire. Of course, Dropbox is also free.

I was a special education teacher and I think this is helpful info for everyone!
Thank you for letting us know about this information. I think there are a lot of people who do not know about the actual spectrum.
Thank you for sharing this with us. I think it would be good for anyone who would like to know more about autism.
Oh, this is good to know! Thanks so much for sharing!
Can I ask how many pages the booklet is and if it has ADs in it?
It has 7 pages and has no ads.
Thanks for sharing this valuable freebie!
Great guide for those of us who do not know a lot about autism.
Sharing with my friend – her son has Autism. Thanks!

It’s so good to have this type of information to easily available. Thanks!
This sounds like a great resource. I don’t have a child with Autism but would still like to learn more. I wish your son much success in living on his own.
I do not have children with special needs. I have always wondered what kind of arrangements can be made for children with special needs once their parents have died.
sounds like a great resource. Good to know it;s there. – thank you
I think it’s so important for people to know more about neurodiversity- thanks for sharing!
