The high traffic Usenet Newsgroup, Bit.listserv.autism is a mirror of the Mailing List, Autism. Like the mailing list, the newsgroup is for parents, teachers and loved ones of autistic people, and high-functioning autistic people themselves. It serves both as a support group and a repository of information about many aspects of autism -- teaching questions in the home and at school; speech therapy; behavior modification techniques; vitamin and other alternative therapies; and it gives pointers to various treatment sites, relevant software and hardware, and book and article reviews. Information is offered about conditions related to, or similar to, autism. There is often a lively pro-Lovaas/anti-Lovass technique debate. A great deal of hope is offered here for people involved in the autism community.
