| | | | Searching the Web for Resources
It's rewarding to learn to search the World Wide Web for yourself. This section links you to some of the powerful search services available "out there". Try simply typing the word autism in the search field; you'll be ... amazed!
You can later learn to refine your search by adding additional keywords, stop words, etc. Each service offers a "help" feature with further explanations about how to do advanced searching.
If you're looking for information in other languages, try the equivalent of "autism" or "autistic" in those languages, e.g. autismo, autista, autisme, autistique, etc. |
