Every site below is one I have visited in November 2013, so they should be up to date, so I can guarantee no dead links if you're seeing this post in 2013, and if you comment below on any broken links or new sites for me to recommend, I'll keep it updated. These are in the order I came across them this month, not any order of priority.
This and other information on ASDs will be at my new blog, http://autismspectra.blogspot.com/
http://www.autismtoday.com/ --trainings, conferences, resources for
professionals, also lists of professionals with expertise
http://autismbeacon.com/home --parent resources, material on lifestyle
issues such as safety and hygiene, focused on younger and more severe cases but
material on Asperger’s too.
http://autismwomensnetwork.org/ --descriptions, forums, although site is
currently being rebuilt, only basic articles available.
http://milestones.org/
--Northern Ohio-based organization for families of people on the spectrum;
offers social activities, empowerment network for parents, teen and adult
services, and an annual conference in Cleveland in mid-June (I have not
attended).
https://sfari.org/ -- News from
a foundation supporting research on autism causes and treatment. Alternative to Autism Speaks.
http://www.autismspeaks.org/ -- supports autism research with the hope of curing autism. Not as sympathetic to the idea of autism as
an alternative mind structure that can be part of a happy life. Sympathetic to parents, in fact sees autism
as a terrible tragedy affecting parents.
But it’s evolving, adding information for helping adults with autism.
http://www.asquarterly.com/ --Autism Spectrum quarterly, a “Magajournal” of
personal stories, promotional pieces for treatment programs, and digested
research information.

and body.
http://www.autismbookstore.com
--Sponsored by the Autism Society of North Carolina, but has resources for
everyone, is up to date, easy to use, with many topical categories, listing new
items and sale items. Much easier to use
for searching than Amazon, which includes tons of self-published e-books as 80%
of search results.

--blog related to ASDs, lots of common sense advice to parents and teachers and
clinicians.
