Books and Articles for Family Members

When a child is diagnosed with autism, most parents become very absorbed in finding out everything possible about the condition. Part of that learning often involves reading every book available on the subject. Because this is the support area for family members, here we have listed books by or specifically for parents of autistic children. Please see also the books and articles by autistics and information pages.
