Questions for Dr. Attwood 
Dr. Tony Attwood will be reviewing questions posted here and address 4-5 of them during his monthly "Ask Dr. Tony" SKYPE interview with Craig Evans. He'd like to tackle common (widely found) issues affecting folks with autism that are generally not covered in his texts. You've got nothing to lose and possible insights to gain. Ask away! |

Stories about life with autism
This category is for parents, caregivers, siblings, teachers, medical professionals and others wanting to tell a story about their experiences with autism. Some may be happy, some sad, but all must be honest. We all know what life can be like with someone on the spectrum. Let's talk about it. PS - Stories of encouragement are especially welcome! |

Relationships
Keeping your Marriage together – We all know the divorce statistics for families with autism (it’s over 80%). This forum should be VERY active on HOW to keep your marriage intact. But there's another area that can also be included: “My Spouse is an Aspie.” If you didn’t know that going into your marriage, you’re probably not surprised at the diagnosis. This thread is for discussions and insights on loved ones living successfully with autism.

A word from (and for) our sponsors...
Advertiser/Sponsor Messages – These concerned folks are here to HELP us, not just SELL to us. If our Autism Community is having success with a particular product or service, we should be telling each other about it. If we need something new, or different from a typical-needs offering, we need to be telling our sponsors about it. This is the place to do all of that.
