to About Autism.

This is a web site which has been written by the parents of Zoe, an autistic child living in the UK, with a view to sharing as much practical knowledge as possible. We have been building this site since we first found out about our daughter's condition and had to come to terms with the fact that we have a child who will never leave home and lead an independent life.

What this site can offer you
Many of the pages listed on the left have changed as the years have gone by, but most of the content remains available making it possible to understand how autism has touched our lives over the last decade and how much progress our daughter has made, despite the very pessimistic outlook back in 1999 when we first found out about our daughter's diagnosis.

To start off with, please do look at the links on the left, and we will try our utmost to add more content as time allows.

We have made a real effort to be objective and factual where appropriate, something which has been fed back to us on many occasions, through our feedback form.

We are keeping this site alive as a way of sharing experiences and hopefully providing some comfort to parents who have recently found themselves thrown in at the deep end and are scared and bewildered by this complex disorder. Please have a look at the links on the left of each page and let us know what you find helpful.
