They can give you questionnaires about the child's functioning, then interpret that information and provide other help. You will find a lot of information about their ongoing research into causes of autism, such as vaccinations, and how to deal with it -- diet modification, behavioral training, and chelation, etc.
The autistic grandson of a friend has been helped a great deal by diet changes. Autistic kids are particularly sensitive to foods such as wheat and milk, and elimination of these and other foods can make a world of difference.
www.tinsnips.com is a website for parents and teachers of autistic children -- lots of information and helpful links there!
The rise of incidence is appalling. When I was in grad school in 1970, I had heard of autism only as a very rare disorder, thought to be caused by inadequate, cold mothers. (That'll teach us to listen to shrinks!) As a school psychologist, I saw my first case of it in 1982. Once seen only about once in 10,000, the incidence rate is now something like 1 in 180. Read the articles on vaccination and autism and draw your own conclusions!
Good luck. God bless!
