Living well with autism--that is the mission of this resource. Here, you will find tools for living with the everyday challenges of raising a child with autism. Emphasis is on free or inexpensive strategies that parents can do at home. Topics include play and engagement, eating and sleeping tips, vacations, visual helpers, sensory diets, goal-setting, and more.

To access, download, and print these files, there is no charge! However, Yahoo requires that you become a member of this group to access the files and photos. The good news is Yahoo groups membership is also free.

Rather "hear" this information? Check out my podcast: http://livingwellwithautism.podomatic.com

Many of these files can be printed and included in your own "Living Well With Autism Handbook." To make your own handbook, see "Booklet" files and "Photos" for examples. This is one easy and inexpensive way to live better with autism.

Click "Files" on the left side of this welcome message to access helpers. Click on "Links" to see some great Internet sites and groups. "Photos" provide visual examples for inspiration.
