Autism World

Autism World is a website that is helpful to understanding the symptoms, behaviours, history and almost anything associated with Autism. The site is thorough, well researched and easy to navigate, with its main audience being parents. Teachers will also find this site beneficial, generally understanding the condition will help when dealing with a child with autism in your classroom environment. The site also offers teaching strategies; the difference to this site than others is that the teaching strategies came about from a discussion forum rather than from the creators of the site. The site allows you to post questions or troubles in a question format where other teachers, parents or scholars can answer. A lot of the answers come from personal experience with a child displaying the same symptoms or where they themselves have autism and have discovered what works best for them. The site also allows you to post ideas for games, activities and lesson plans so that others can see something that worked well in your classroom and you can see what worked well in others. Teachers will find this site very useful especially when new to autism and in need of assistance or a bit of background knowledge. The site comes highly recommended and the information displayed is highly valuable.
