Innovative new website makes connections for those affected by autism
From 18 October 2000 searching for information about autism on the internet
will be much easier owing to a new sophisticated, yet user-friendly, website
entitled autismconnect
(http://www.autismconnect.com
). The project is a partnership between the National Autistic Society, the
Shirley Foundation and the web developer RMR plc.
The website is a free, non-commercial service that aims to be the first
port of call for anyone interested in finding up-to-date information about
autism and related autistic spectrum disorders. This includes people with an
autistic disorder, their parents, friends, educators and therapists, as well
as researchers, legislators and volunteers.
The site will contain details of other websites, events, conferences,
support groups, organisations and the latest research from around the
world.
