Okay, I totally raided my Bookmarks folder...

ASAN (Autistic Self-Advocacy Network)
US disability-rights group specifically focused on autism. (Asperger's counts since it's a subtype.)

The Asperger's Survival Guide
Informative guide written by an AS man about how to navigate the social world.

Aspies For Freedom
Forum for people with various kinds of autism; started out with Asperger's but has a fuller spectrum nowadays. Tends to be fairly militant autism-rights, but generally supportive.

Autreat
Yearly gathering for autistic people; works like a convention.

The Therapy Shoppe
While it's generally kid-focused, you'll find a lot of useful stim toys and other sensory gadgets here.

This Way of Life
Autism advocacy site with a bit of everything. Especially recommended are the sections under "Autistic Differences" and "Help for Autistics". Executive dysfunction, for example, can be quite a troublesome problem, and one not usually addressed by standard therapy.

Autism Information Library and autistics.org
A collection of articles, generally by autistic people, about life with autism, advocacy, their experiences, and more than a few full-on rants. The main autistics.org site also contains some useful resources.

Neurodiversity.com
Another information library. Links to a lot of scientific stuff, and a lot of explanation of the concept of "neurodiversity" (i.e., the concept of a society that includes and accepts people with all sorts of brains, including autism). Very big on debunking the vaccine/autism myth.

Ballastexistenz
Blog by an autistic woman who's considered a leader in the autism rights movement. Tends to write a lot about disability rights, random daily stuff, and cats.

I absolutely this one It's put tons of words and thoughts to things i didn't even know were related to my aspergers. It talks about the role of anxiety depression self injury and tourettes in aspies. It just puts a bunch of thing in an aspie perspective and explains their role. It uses tons of real testimony from other aspies. I hope you all take the time to check it out.

Here's my new website!

Excellent book for children and adults and partners/family trying to understand AS......

"The Complete Guide to Aspergers Syndrome" by Professor Tony Attwood.

He does a lot of work with the clinic I attend (Minds and Hearts Clinic for AS and Autism) and I have heard him speak at our women with AS group. Lovely man and incredibly knowledgeable. He has given speeches and conferences all over the world.

Check it out if you like. Made my day when I started reading it and I still refer to it occasionally.

Take care,

I discovered two books which are brilliant if you or someone in your family has just had a diagnosis: 'Asperger's Syndrome: The Essential Guide' and 'Autism: A Parent's Guide', both by HIlary Hawkes. They're both on Amazon.
The person who wrote them also writes kids books and has a website which has a collecton of books aimed at kids who have disabilities/asperger's etc. There are online games and fun stuff aswell as the books. My youngest son, who as AS, loved the one called 'Jay in The Journey' - about a boy who has AS. The site is at www.hilaryhawkes.co.uk/strawberryjam books . Or just google the author's name. Def worth looking at.

Everyday Asperger's | Life through the eyes of a female with Aspergers
This is from a mother with Aspergers. Her son has it as well. It is a blog for Aspie girls from an Aspie girl. I love it! It's helped so much-she has a lot of information on there for the girls themselves, parents, friends and partners!

Great links, thank you!!

Here's one: http://www.aspirecenterlearning.com/

I dunno if this counts as a resource so I'll post my spiel here:

Adventures in Autism: A Late Diagnosis Story

People appear to have been enjoying it. So I want to try to reach others. I do speak about personal experiences but I also post about those of other individuals as well as studies and news articles, etc. I'm always open to suggestions on what I should write about so if there's something you'd like to read, let me know.

Despite being autistic all my life, I only found out about it last year. Beforehand I thought I was insane. Stumbly steps on the road to self-discovery as well as passing on information to others.

And attempts at humour.

If you think you'd be interested, you can follow on Tumblr or follow @ NyxBean on Twitter as all my posts go there as well.

Two other places you will tend to catch my posts from this are my https://uk.pinterest.com/nyxbean/ASD/ pinboard and https://uk.pinterest.com/nyxbean/my-aspergers/ pinboard. Another two which may see posts are https://uk.pinterest.com/nyxbean/asp...g-life-skills/ and https://uk.pinterest.com/nyxbean/lea...abilities-pdds.

I was professionally diagnosed using the DSM-IV. If it had been the DSM-5 then I'd simply be considered high-functioning autistic while the ICD-10 would still label me with Asperger's Syndrome (I believe). It's a mess, that's what it is! Either way, I still am an advocate for sensible and researched self-diagnosis because of the price tag in places like the United States, as well as a few other issues. This means you needn't worry about me being a little dictator on the matter. All are welcome. ^_^

Hi, does that include a subform for partners?

Thank you, its on the shelf at the library so I will check it out tomorrow. My partner had aspergers as a child and it looks like he has it again as an adult.

something i came across today, seemed pretty helpful in situations when someone on the spectrum is facing the legal system(court, police, etc.) or something that can bring more awareness and understanding when its needed most.
it was written by a lady in Illinois

Autistic Hoya

although im not aspergan,im under the label of classic autism and 'low functioning', ive written blogs for years and after losing my passwords again ive started a new blog about my experiences with classic autism,intellectual disability,epilepsy and a bunch of other crap.
id love it also if any of you would like to exchange links in the blog roll.

Verywellhealth has some nice articles on autism. Nightmares I indeed had terrible nightmares as a 5 year old

So true, high functioning autism is still autism. "While people with more severe autism are not generally expected to just suck it up and get through difficult moments, people on the higher end of the spectrum are expected to do just that." Well put!

I also found David Finch's Journal of Best Practices very helpful and an entertaining read. Linked in the article:
