Research into the possible biological and medical causes and/or triggers of autism has increased exponentially in the past few years. If you use your browser's search engine and type in "autism treatment," you are likely to find 100,000+ matches. With so much information out there, it's hard to know where to start looking for answers, so we've only included links to sites that have been extra-helpful to us. But once you've read some books and done a bit of research on your own, you may find that there are other sites that are even more helpful to you. If so, please let us know, and we'll consider adding them to this page!


If you don't understand the problems and controversy surrounding vaccines and their relationship to autism, read this first: Autism: A Novel Form of Mercury Poisoning.
