I am slowly plowing my way through vast quantities of information about Aspergers and Autism in order to get a better understanding of how to deal with it myself. It applies to other people on the Autism Spectrum as well. Some people on this forum are not yet sure whether they are on the Spectrum. Others are searching for ways to deal with it.
I am especially good at research. I am lousy at knowing what will interest other people. I like to share potentially helpful information.
I decided to put links that interest me here. If others are interested you can look here to see what my latest links are. Pick out whatever strikes your fancy.
Warning: I can get very industrious and creative when I start in on an interesting subject, so you might not want to read everything I put up here. I can overwhelm most NTs with sheer volume of information. If you happen to be obsessed with information about Aspergers/Autism and have an insatiable appetite for it, this could make you very happy.

Expert Q & A: Autism
This one is at the same site, but I have noticed that people often do not click on links at a site to look around. This one is especially relevant when dealing with children. Be sure to look around this site since it has lots of potentially helpful information.
I forgot to mention that understanding Autism/Aspergers can sometimes be helpful to pick out a therapist, in case you want to deal with a knowledgeable person. Some practitioners seriously rest on their laurels and stop learning more than is legally required. If you know enough, you can ask questions that will let you know whether the person you are talking to has kept up to date, or knows what you want them to know.
It has sometimes made a difference in being able to get better treatment because I could converse intelligently with a practitioner in their own jargon. This does not always work, but it usually does.
