Hi guys.

I've been monitoring this forum for some time now. I believe I've posted an introduction at some point in history.
I'm the father of an autistic child. I'm a web developer by trade, and although there are many great resources such as this online these days, I've decided to launch my own project devoted to the understanding of autism and I'd like to invite you all to join us.

I'm working closely with my sons school, which is of course a special needs school. I aim to bring many people with links to autism into the new community. That may be parents and carers, along with autistic people and health professionals.

If you're visiting now, please keep in mind that the project has just been launched this morning, and your input is vital to the overall development of the project.

I look forward to meeting you all there.

Just got this link from another web site, it may be useful to some of you

www.radar-shop.org.uk

Its where you can buy a key for the Disabled toilets that are kept locked. There is a small charge for the key to cover costs. This could be useful if you have an older boy and he does not want to go into the ladies toilets, or to avoid a queue I've ordered a key as it will be good to be able to change Charlotte's nappies in privacy now she is getting older but it has not arrived yet so do not have any more feedback. I've also ordered a book that tells you where all the toilets are situated, thought this might come in handy if we go anywhere new.

Alternative communication aids can enhance a childs speech.
They offer a free consultation prior to assessment, If you child has speech but it is very unclear and you feel that your speech and language therapist isnt giving you a good service it may be worth a visit.

The following website has 3 great videos on social skills. I have just ordered the school one. My daughter learns by watching others so I am hoping this will help her.
