OAR wasn’t even two years old then. That original guide would go on to bethe first of what are now nine publications in the Life Journey Through Autism series. We published it hoping that it would help parents, especially when first confronted with their child’s autism diagnosis. As we publish this updated version, the difference between then and now is that we know from more than 15 years of constant demand that it is the tool for parents we had hoped it would be at the start—a useful resource to support them as they become familiar with their son’s or daughter’s diagnosis.  \nFor parents of children with autism, there is one constant. From the moment your child is diagnosed, you need reliable information about this complex disorder. Most parents face a daunting learning curve when plunged into this new world of information replete with unfamiliar medical and scientific terminology. We quickly discover there is no single source or national clearinghouse for information on autism. It may seem unfair, but it falls upon us parents to educate ourselves. I understand how difficult this can be because I’ve walked that path. I have a son and daughter with autism, both now in their thirties.  \nWhen we founded OAR, one of our foremost objectives was to deliver practical information and tools to ease the burden on the front-line caregivers—mothersand fathers, brothers and sisters, grandparents, teachers, classroom assistants, and others who face the everyday challenges presented by autism. Life Journey Through Autism: A Parent’s Guide to Research was the first and oldest resource until today. It’s still the first, but now it is fresh and up-to-date.  \nA project like this does not happen without hard work by many people, starting with the original project team. That said, the credit for this version goes to Kimberly Ha, OAR research and programs director; and Nancy McIntyre, Ph.D., and Sallie Nowell, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, from the Frank Porter Graham Institute, who worked tirelessly on the project for the last six months.  \nThe guide is designed to address the needs of parents of children just diagnosed with autism. It will help you ask better questions as you seek the best treatment for your child. It will not answer all your questions. Nonetheless, I am confident  \nthat it will be a useful guide for you and your child as you begin your life journey with autism.  \nSincer","cbCaipnspZlnT1qL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipnspZlnT1qL","pdf",2477096,93,"English","# Dear Fellow Parents and Friends\n## Purpose of the updated guide\n## Need for reliable autism information\n## Support for front-line caregivers\n## Acknowledgments and contributors","[{\"question\":\"Who is this guide intended for?\",\"answer\":\"It is designed for parents of children just diagnosed with autism, and it also supports the broader front-line caregiver community.\"},{\"question\":\"What problem does the guide aim to address?\",\"answer\":\"It addresses the difficulty families face when trying to find reliable autism information amid unfamiliar medical and scientific terminology.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the guide’s role in choosing treatment?\",\"answer\":\"The guide helps parents ask better questions while seeking the best treatment, and it does not attempt to answer every question.\"}]","Life Journey Through Autism - A Parent’s Guide to Research | PDF",1792059101,234]
