AutismWeb Information

AutismWeb is a free, informational web site run by parent-volunteers. It is not affiliated with any organization or service provider. We try to provide accurate and up-to-date information on autism spectrum disorders, educational methodologies, treatments, services, research news, resources and conferences. AutismWeb believes that an educated parent is best able to advocate for his or her child.

To help support the web site, we have partnered with certain advertisers. When you purchase through links on our web site, we receive a small commission that is used to pay for web hosting and to keep the site operational. You will be charged the same prices as anyone else buying from those merchants.

Disclaimer

By using AutismWeb, you agree to the following. AutismWeb is for informational use only and should not be used in lieu of, or to replace, the advice of health care and educational professionals. Any change in your child's treatment, therapy, diet or educational plan should be discussed first with the appropriate professional ─ doctor, health care provider, nutritionist, therapist or teacher ─ who knows your child. This is not a medical site. AutismWeb does not assume responsibility for the use made of information on this site, nor does it warranty the accuracy, usefulness, or value of any information.

AutismWeb links to many sites. We do not control the information on those sites or make any representations as to their accuracy or value.

AutismWeb Forum is a public message board. As such, information and advice posted there may be incorrect, inaccurate, risky, misleading and/or false. Any information gleaned from the Forum should be discussed with appropriate professionals who know your child. We cannot determine the accuracy or truthfulness of anything posted on the Forum, and we are not responsible for posts there. Posts made to the Forum reflect the views and opinions of their authors, and not AutismWeb.

Privacy

With the exception of registered users of the message board (see below), AutismWeb does not collect personal information from visitors to this site. It does not send unsolicited email, or spam.

Some advertisers on this site, such as Amazon.com and Google.com, have separate privacy practices and policies that can be found on their respective sites and that affect visitors of this site. Advertisers may use a common internet practice of placing a "cookie," which is a piece of information placed on a computer to serve ads appropriate to the site. You may change your browser to delete or reject cookies. To learn how to do this, please follow the Help instructions on your browser.

Special information for registered members of our message board, AutismWeb Forum: An email address and other information is required from people who register to post on the message board. We do not share, give away, or sell that information. Additional information is contained in the AutismWeb Forum registration agreement. We encourage people posting on the message board to be careful about revealing their real names and identifying information on this or any public forum.

Terminology

The terms "autism" and "Pervasive Developmental Disorder" are sometimes used interchangeably on this site. Although professionals do distinguish between these two diagnoses, it is not always useful to do so here. That is because the same educational strategies, treatments and interventions will help children with either diagnosis.
