Autism Spectrum Disorder

Holiday Letter for Friends and Family

From the ASA - Chapter Network

"Dear family and friends:" was written for the purpose of it being sent to relatives and hosts of holiday gatherings who might need a crash course in what to expect from their guest with autism. 

I understand that we will be visiting each other for the holidays this year!  Sometimes these visits can be very hard for me, but here is some information that might help our visits to be more successful.  Click on the headline or link for the whole story.
