Resources

Remember when your child was first diagnosed with autism? Do you remember staring blankly at the doctor? Do you remember feeling helpless, guilty, angry, in denial and overwhelmed all at the same time? Everything was a blur and you felt lost and alone.

Listed below are a number of books, articles and websites that Chloe recommends that may assist you in making sense of it all and taking that first positive step forward for the benefit of your child.
