As the mother of a son with Asperger Syndrome, a certified special education teacher, and early intervention provider for children across the autism spectrum, I have a unique understanding of the challenges children and families face. As coauthor of The OASIS Guide to Asperger Syndrome, I also know that nothing is as empowering and as critical to achieving the optimal outcome for our kids as information. So while this is by no means a comprehensive Asperger/autism resource site, I hope you'll find it a good start.

Why It Matters
Why I do this. If you're here, it's probably because you know or you love someone living with Asperger Syndrome or a related autism spectrum disorder. Sometimes it's good to remember what it's all about. Click here.

Our Book: The OASIS Guide to Asperger Syndrome
Barb Kirby and I wrote the book we wish that we had had when our own sons were diagnosed. Published in November 2001, and revised, expanded, and updated for spring 2005, The OASIS Guide to Asperger Syndrome is an essential reference. For more on The OASIS Guide, click here.
