There are far too many autism support groups in the United States to mention them all here. I have listed a few such organizations below. These groups and many others like them provide irreplaceable and phenomenal support for autistic children and their parents and anybody else willing to get out of their comfort zone and listen.

Statistics regarding the increases in autism rates in our nation continue to be alarming. Current estimates are that 1 in 98 newborns in the USA will eventually be diagnosed with some form of autism. Pervasive developmental disorders can affect anyone and the economic impact autism creates for families around the world demands we maintain our sense of urgency for even more research and statistical information. We need better treatments, preventative measures and, with God’s help, to find a cure.

Below are just a few of myriad available websites and organizations that can help educate us all about the challenges autism presents for the world’s autistic children. We can no longer look the other way. We all need to do our part!
