Email Lists for Family

A list is sort of an electronic support group. People who subscribe to the list can all send emails to each other and discuss a particular topic or issue. The following are lists aimed primarily at parents of autistic children, although autistic adults are also welcome on most of them. We also have a list of more autistic focussed lists.

PAN-L
PAN-L is a personal/emotional support group for anyone who has to "live with autism or a related condition". PAN-L was created to get away from the politics and arguments over treatments on the Autism list, so we could just help each other at the personal level. It is maintained by Carolyn Baird and considered to be complementary to the Autism and ME- lists. e-mail: cas@attila.apana.org.au
with your full name and an introduction explaining your connection to autism.
