Are you in the Memphis area? If so there is a place called Autism Solution Center http://www.autismsolutioncenter.com/ that might be able to help you. I've met 2 volunteers from there, and it sounds wonderful.

I think Meredith College has an autism program that is for the whole family. Might be work a look. www.meredith.edu

I have a 10 year old son who was diagnosed 8 years ago. One thing I have learned is that all autistic children are not alike. Therapy is the best thing for them. I live in KY and am not sure what support groups are available in your state (NC?). If you want a local support group I would suggest asking your son's therapists or special ed teachers. Before my son was diagnosed I don't think I new anyone with autism and now it seems like I know a lot of children with autism. There is a lot out there, but getting through each day and trying to figure out what will work for your child and what will not work can be exhausting.

You can always check with your local school systems Autistic classes and see whats available. Also you can check with TEACCH-they are a great resources for children with Autism.

I have a teen autistic son. I recommend the yahoo group called reversingautism. I hope you join. The information I have received there has helped me more than anywhere else.

Please look at www.feingold.org. Feingold is a 30yr old non-profit organization whose purpose is to inform the public about causes of most neurological disorders such as ADD,ADHD, OCD, Autism, etc. They are a leading authority on this subject and have helped thousands of families over the years. They have a chat room where you can talk to other moms of Autistic children. Best wishes.
