Online Asperger's Syndrome Information and Support

Address: www.udel.edu/bkirby/asperger/

Review: This amazing website provides a huge list of resources for parents, professionals, and individuals with AS. The best features of the site include the "Papers and Articles" section, "Education" section, and "Message Boards." I use this site frequently as a springboard to find more detailed information across the web.


Autism Spot

Address: www.autismspot.com

Review: This unique website designed for everyone is made up of several high quality videos of various topics related to Autism which include nutrition, therapies, personal accounts, and post-secondary transition. The website strives to provide objective information from reliable, qualified sources. A must visit for parents and professionals alike!


Texas Project First

Address: http://texasprojectfirst.org

Review: This HUGE website, provided in part by the Texas Education Agency, covers all aspects of a variety of disabilities including Asperger?s Syndrome. It is designed for families and parents, however any individual will benefit from the vast resources that it offers. My favorite area is to Post-Secondary Transition and the chronological age organization of the website makes it very easy to navigate.


Asperger Syndrome Parent-Professional Information Exchange

Address: www.aspieinfo.com

Review: This concise and useful website provides excellent Houston area resources regarding Asperger's Syndrome including teacher tips, transition, and recommended books and articles. It is updated frequently with important news and new information.


Transition Matters

Address: www.transitionmatters.org

Review: This website, created by myself, serves as a resource collection of useful websites, information, and links. The primary purpose of the website is to connect visitors to useful Post-Secondary Transition resources; however it also contains general links and documents related to other areas. It is updated frequently and all materials posted are obtained from reliable and accurate sources such as universities, research centers, government agencies, and parent support organizations.
