Association for Science in Autism Treatment (ASAT)
ASAT is committed to science as the most objective, time-tested and
reliable approach to discerning between safe, effective autism
treatments, and those that are harmful or ineffective. ASAT supports
all scientifically sound research on the prevention, treatment and cure
of autism, as well as all treatments for autism that are shown to be
effective through solid scientific research, regardless of discipline
or domain.

their autistic children.
Autism Network Resources for Physicians
A resource website listing links to autism research and related sites
that will be of interest to physicians. The goal of this site is to
assist the medical community in their efforts to understand autism and
study the treatment options available in the hopes that someday, the
treatment protocols that prove to be the most beneficial for certain
populations with autism are going to be accepted or recommended by the
medical community.
Autism Research Institute
The Autism Research Institute (ARI), a non-profit organization, was
established in 1967. ARI is primarily devoted to conducting research,
and to disseminating the results of research, on the causes of autism
and on methods of preventing, diagnosing and treating autism and other
severe behavioral disorders of childhood. We provide information based
on research to parents and professionals throughout the world.
Body Ecology Diet
A world-renowned system of healing, the BED establishes and nourishes
the growth of beneficial microorganisms in the digestive tract. This

the brain. Effects lasting learning and brain functioning by
retraining neurological pathways through light, sound, motion,
olfactory, touch, electromagnetic & magnetic fields, and nutrition.
Powerful program that gets lasting results.
Breaking the Vicious Cycle
The official site maintained by Elaine Gottschall about the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD).

A multi-disciplinary team composed of more than 60 researchers,
clinicians and parents dedicated to "Unraveling the Mystery of Autism".
Canadian Autism Intervention Research Network (CAIRN)
We monitor the latest developments in early intervention research,
policy and practice in Canada and engage all members of the autism
community in helping to decide which important and relevant questions
need to be addressed now. We work collaboratively to develop new,
Canadian research projects that will answer these questions and inform
future policy and clinical practice. And we identify and disseminate
the best available information on autism with an emphasis on how this
knowledge can be turned into practice.
Canadian Directory of Genetic Support Groups
The directory is designed as a resource guide for families and
professionals seeking information on genetic support groups in Canada.
CanChild Centre for Childhood Disability Research
Research programmes at CanChild concentrate on children and youth with
disabilities and their families within the context of the communities
in which they live. Our focus is on the interrelationships between
individuals, their families, communities, and health systems.
Centre of Knowledge on Healthy Child Development
This web site is dedicated to providing the latest and best information
on child mental health problems and the influences that shape the
developmental health and well-being of children and youth.
Feingold Program/Diet
The Feingold Program (also known as the Feingold Diet) is a test to determine if certain foods or food additives are triggering particular symptoms. It is basically the way people used
to eat before "hyperactivity" became a household word, and before
asthma and chronic ear infections became so very common. Used
originally as a diet for allergies, improvement in behavior and
attention was first noticed as a "side effect."
Fragile X Research Foundation of Canada
Fragile X Research Foundation of Canada's mandate is to promote
scientific research that will lead to effective treatment for Fragile
X.
GFCF Diet
A free resource for any parent who needs support implementing the GFCF
Diet. It provides a central location for parents to find other
parents who are also using Dietary Therapy. It is the largest
resource of its kind on the Internet, not only providing lists of
products to help guide you through the grocery stores but other
relevant information which will assist every parent using the GFCF
Diet.
Hope for Healing Children
We are a group of Calgary parents dedicated to healing our Autistic
Spectrum Disorder children using alternative biomedical treatments.
This site is a forum for sharing information and supporting each other
on this challenging journey.
Interactive Collaborative Autism Network (ICAN)
The site is a collaborative effort among three states: the State
Departments of Education of Connecticut (CT) and Minnesota (MN) and the
University of Kansas (KU) to use the World Wide Web (WWW) as a means of
supporting and facilitating training. Started in Fall 2000, the site
was developed to disseminate information about characteristics,
assessment, and research-based interventions and services for children
and youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
The Irlen Institute
The Irlen Syndrome is a type of perceptual processing problem related
to sensitivity to lights, glare, patterns, colors, and contrast.
This type of perceptual processing disorder affects 12-14% of the
