Top 30 Autism Facebook Fan Pages
Raising a child with an autism spectrum disorder can be immensely rewarding. It can also, at times, feel lonely. You might find yourself wondering, Is anyone else going through the same things I'm going through? And if so, how do they cope? Parsing - or even keeping up with - the latest research into symptoms, diagnosis, treatments, and possible causes can be difficult, and you may be itching to vent your feelings about the way the spectrum disorders are represented in the media. Where can you go to find support, community, and clear, accurate information?
Increasingly, parents are turning to Facebook fan pages. We at Babble have rounded up 30 of the best pages for families with children on the spectrum. We hope you'll find lots here to help you navigate the challenges and joys of raising a child with an ASD.
If by some chance your favorite page isn't included here, please let us and your fellow Babble readers know by nominating it yourself. - Amy Reiter

Autism Understanding And Acceptance
Why you’ll “like” it: The founders of this Facebook page are using it to launch “a grassroots movement” to push advocacy efforts beyond raising awareness of autism toward promoting a fuller understanding of ADSs and a greater acceptance of those who have been diagnosed with them. Parents use the page to discuss the latest research, celebrate when the autism community gains recognition and support, and express outrage when they see the media missing an opportunity to increase public understanding.
