The Gray Center is privileged to have several experts in the field of autistic spectrum disorders on its board of directors and in its circle of friends. Following are some questions that they have been asked, and the responses they have provided.

We appreciate the fact that every parent is an expert on his or her own child. If while reading one of these questions, you have some suggestions to add, please let us know. We all benefit from hearing about new sources of information, techniques that have helped your children, etc. If you would like to send in some of your own hints, please contact webmaster@thegraycenter.org.

*If you are referencing this information to make decisions for your own child, it is important to recognize that they are not intended to take the place of the advice of a professional who is more familiar with your child and your situation.  Please recognize that these answers contain general information that we hope will be of assistance to you, although they do not come with any guarantees for success.

We frequently receive e-mails asking about particular schools, classrooms, or other programs around the world. We are sorry, but we generally do NOT give specific recommendations of programs/classrooms for children. This is due to the fact that we cannot be familiar with every program available, and we do not know the children and their specific needs. Thank you for understanding!

If someone in your life has been a tremendous help or support for you as you deal with ASD, please take a moment to publicly acknowledge that person on our site.
