Books and online resources
The Autism Spectrum Disorders Network houses an amazing collection of books, DVDs and other autism materials. These are available for educational professionals AND parents to checkout for FREE. This is a great way to browse through material before you spend the money to buy! Some titles just might become your parenting handbook while others won’t live up to the hype. This is a GREAT way to make sure you spend your money on the books you really want!

Another option before buying a book is to check with your local library. Some libraries even take suggestions for books to purchase. This is a great way to advocate for your own needs!
Also some of the support groups across the state have organized their own lending libraries. Other parents are a great resource for books dealing with dietary or biomedical issues. Many of these books will not be carried by the ASD Network as they focus on educational materials.
Visit the links below for some suggested resources from other parents.
