From 18 October 2000 searching for information about autism on the internet will be much easier owing to a new sophisticated, yet user-friendly, website entitled ‘autismconnect’ (http://www.autismconnect.com ). The project is a partnership between the National Autistic Society, the Shirley Foundation and the web developer RMR plc.

The website is a free, non-commercial service that aims to be the first port of call for anyone interested in finding up-to-date information about autism and related autistic spectrum disorders. This includes people with an autistic disorder, their parents, friends, educators and therapists, as well as researchers, legislators and volunteers.

The site will contain details of other websites, events, conferences, support groups, organisations and the latest research from around the world.
