I desperately need quotes from a parent whose child has autism? someone had offered to help but is not responding to my emails and my deadline is fast looming! I just need some details on how your suspicions were first aroused, how long it took to get a diagnosis and how it has affected your family, especially any siblings. This is for a national parenting website and I can change names to avoid identifying you if necessary. Hope someone can help.

If you haven't already, you might want to contact autismspeaks.org. I'm sure they could put you in touch with people to speak with.

I have a friend who is constantly online who could help. What email should I tell her to send to?

Thanks Featuresgal? I?ve clicked the option to allow MB users to email me [forgot to do it before!] so if you could drop me a line I can pass on my contact details.

Urgent -- contact autism support chapters in several different states until you find a couple people who say they will help you by emailing you numbers of parents willing to go on the record. Ask each person who promises to help for three numbers -- do this three times, and you may get a number or two.

Good luck!
