Several area parents have organized a support network for families with autistic children. The parent group offers opportunity for discussion and study of some unique issues these families encounter, for example, choosing a dentist or doctor experienced with autistic children, service and evaluation options, where to take their child for a haircut, specific informational opportunities for parents, respite choices, advocacy groups, and educational supports and options. Conversation with parents who have "been there" is most helpful for families just starting out.
