Resources Created by People with Autism or Related Diagnoses
Perhaps the most valuable resources for learning about autism and related developmental disorders are those created by authors and researchers who themselves have a PDD diagnosis. Such authors' insights into how PDD diagnosed people perceive their environment and how their minds work to organize experiences provide a unique window that can help parents and professionals develop strategies to increase affected children's' social, communication and independent living skills.
