A coworker of mine just had a 2 year old son be diagnosed with autism. Does anyone know of any groups, message boards, sources of info etc that would be helpful to her?
If she isn't already, tell her to call her local Help Me Grow office. They will be able to hook her up with support groups, specialists and therapists in the area to provide assistance. I'm a pediatric physical therapist in Licking County and work a lot with Help Me Grow here. I'll ask around to see if I can find anything else.
Hi my sister gave me a few phone numbers that you could call. they are the Children's Autism Clinic-###-###-#### and MRDD-###-###-####. She used to work with autistic children and has done alot of research. If you have any specific questions she said that you can email her at ____@____.com will give you all the answers that she can.

There are quite a few support groups for Autism. Go to the keyword and type in autism or autism support groups and lists will come up. If you have a hospital, dr nearby, I'm sure they would also be able to help you. I know there are several in Dayton because I did a paper on Asperger's syndrome which is very similar and listed support groups in the Dayton area. Good luck, your friend is lucky to have you

I know these both of these places will be able to help her.
Hi - I recently atttended a workshop about special needs, and they provided these agencies and phone numbers for the Columbus area ( I think they are United Way and/or federal programs? I'm not sure) I hope this helps :-)
