Some of the informative sites that can be followed regarding the issues related to Autism are as mentioned below. These are some of the great resources created by people giving out maximum output about autism. These resources are at our page for information purpose only, none of these pages are created by Learning Skills Academy.

3. Organisation for Autism Research

We strive to use science to address the social, educational, and treatment concerns of self-advocates, parents, autism professionals, and caregivers. The mission of “applying” research to answer questions of daily concern to those living with autism defines our goals and program objectives and shapes our budget.

In addition to funding research, our mission includes the requirements to:

• Disseminate new and useful information to as many members of the autism community as possible, and
• Direct all research and programs initiatives toward enhancing the quality of life for individuals with autism.

OAR was founded in December 2001 by seven individuals whose lives and families had been directly impacted by autism. They shared a common vision and set out on a singular mission – to apply science to answer the daily questions and challenges that autism presents to individuals with autism, their families, teachers, and caregivers.

There are many organizations dedicated to autism. What distinguishes us from other organizations is our singular focus on applied research and the quality and practical value of its resource materials.

4. Autism Speaks

5. Research Autism

This website is owned and run by the Research Autism information service which is a department within the National Autistic Society.

It was previously owned and run by the charity Research Autism, which is the only UK charity exclusively dedicated to research into interventions in autism. This website is aimed at anyone with an interest in autism, including people on the autism spectrum, parents and carers, service providers and policy makers. Because autism covers such a wide spectrum of conditions, and because each person on that spectrum is different from every other person on the spectrum, it is likely that some parts of this site will be more relevant to you than other parts of the site. This site has been designed to provide you with information about the work of Research Autism and about interventions used to help people on the autism spectrum. It has also been designed to act as a gateway to some of the other resources on autism, both here in the UK and overseas.
