The Autism Society of Connecticut is a tremendous resource for families. I recently discovered they maintain a blog with an extensive calendar of events. You can find upcoming support groups, activity events, educational events, training events, research programs, and advocacy projects. They cover the entire state. Check out their site today and get involved.

The U.S. Autism & Asperger Association put together a nice list of the 9 Costly Mistakes to Avoid in Planning for Your Special Needs Child. I recommend it for everyone that has a family member with special needs.
