Rafi's Favorite Autism Sites
As you know, Rafi's sister, Noée, is autistic, meaning that she's deficient
in some social and behavioral skills. Nevertheless, Rafi is proud of Noée,
and Noée is proud of herself.
Here are some sites about autism and specific forms (such as Asperger's Syndrome) that are of some interest.
(This page only lists sites about autism in general, specific types
of autism, or sites designed for those with autism. This page does not, and
will not, feature any sites advocating a "cure" for autism.)
Sites about autism in general
Autism: Getting the Truth Out
http://www.gettingthetruthout.org/
Site that tells of those whose lives were "wrecked" by autism (like
those advocating a "cure" for autism) -- and then tells it like it
really is.
The Autism Acceptance Project
http://www.taaproject.com/
Organisation whose aim is to view autistic people for their abilities and
merits, not as those afflicted by it.
Autistic Singapore Autism Awareness

adult who, in 2001, discovered his autism.
