A child is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) every 20 minutes, making the need for information, education, and resources more important than ever.

You may be concerned about your child’s developmental progress, about whether your child received an appropriate diagnosis, and about what your next steps should be.
The resources listed below provide information for families at different stages of the ASD diagnosis process, to assist them in finding help for their children and support for their family.
