    Autism Resource Guide, Damian Porcari.
    This page is intended to share information with other parents, teachers, and professionals interested in autism. As such, I will look to readers to contribute their insights and experiences. I would like to know both what worked and what didn't. Not all children will benefit from each treatment method.
