learn more about autism

So while I’ll never know all there is to know about autism, I certainly know more than when I started, which was my goal. I nursed Gabriel to sleep last night and spent most of the evening lying beside him reading the book I rented from the library. I learned about other disorders, like fragile X, and why Rett disorder is not classed as part of the autistic spectrum. I also learned about savants, things like hand flapping and echolalia, and greater detail of Asperger’s.

Hmm… what shall I learn more about next?

No one in my family, or even anyone that I know has Autism/AD. Gabriel show no signs yet (he’s only 3 1/2 months old, though) and so I doubt he will have it.

But I want to learn more about this. After all, what good are the “Autism Awareness Ribbons” if I don’t make myself aware?

Actually, I already have by reading a bit online, but I want to learn more. I rented a book from the library and have started to read that.
