NICHCY eNews Foundations:

Autism 101

NICHCY is pleased to offer you eNews, a news service that brings you resources and information that are relevant to your interests and concerns. All are welcome to sign up for eNews and tell us what type of info they'd like to receive. Because we sift through mountains of resources daily at NICHCY, we are in an excellent position to let our users know when we run across something of interest to them. (Don't know what we're talking about here? Visit our eNews sign-up page, and read all about it.)

This eNews Foundations page offers the same starting point to everyone who signed up on eNews to receive information about autism. We include in that subject the full range of disorders on what you may have heard called the Autism Spectrum. It doesn't matter if you signed up to receive this info on Day 1 or Day 366 of our service. You'll begin to receive this info through our periodic eNews mailings on the subject---AND, in the meantime, this page will connect you with the resources and info we've already shared with others.

• Start with NICHCY's 4-page fact sheet on Autism and PDD.
  www.nichcy.org/pubs/factshe/fs1txt.html
  If you're looking for the basics on autism and its associated disorders, this is a good place to start. Our fact sheet will hook you up with ORGANIZATIONS that can help, online and print resources of more information, and an overview look at this spectrum of disorders.
