Autism and Asperger's Syndrome

This page provides links to articles and resources on autism and Asperger's syndrome. Understanding of the autistic spectrum is still evolving through research and debate, and many previously held stereotypes are being debunked. I would encourage those who want to develop a greater understanding of autism and Asperger's to read not only articles written by medical professionals and researchers, which provide an external, often clinical view, but also material written by those on the spectrum.
