Message Boards

This page will give you many internet message boards and forums, where you can ask questions to learn more information about issues which concern you, and you can also provide answers to others who are concerned about issues that you have already encountered in your family's life.

I am including here two basic types of message boards. First are general autism message boards, not targeting any specific topic except the general topic of "autism". Second are specialty message boards, with focus on one or more specialty areas, altho in general, "off topic" messages are permitted on these boards so long as they are clearly marked as "off topic".

There are many many message boards included throughout my site within the relevant site sections. The message boards I am including here, are those which are, *in general*, both rather busy and also generally tolerant of alternative points of view. However, each message board has its own "personality", and I would recommend you join the ones which interest you, read any information regarding the specific board's rules and policies, and participate on those which you believe meet your personal philosophy and where the other members are supportive of you in your efforts to raise your child.
