Introduction
This NICHCY Resources list has been compiled to accompany our Briefing
Paper on Pervasive Developmental Disorders
(PDD), the fact sheet we offer on Autism/PDD,
and the Web resource pages of our Autism Suite. There
are a tremendous amount of articles, books, videos, and Web sites on autism
and the disorders under the umbrella of PDD. These resources will lead you to
more, in a steadily widening circle of information and support. We hope this
list gets you started on your search for more knowledge about these disabilities.
