About This Site

Autism Network Resources for Physicians is 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. By taking part in the study of autism and its causes, we hope that the medical community will be able to identify at-risk children and will be able to follow or recommend certain measures to prevent autism.

Physicians who view this site are asked to challenge the validity of the research, studies, and anecdotal accounts presented in the links. They are asked to be actively involved in the studies and to work with the doctors, researchers, and scientists who are studying autism.

 

To Physicians: IMFAR held its first international meeting for autism research on November 9 & 10, 2001 in San Diego, California. The IMFAR site at www.imfar.org is highly recommended as the very first site to be visited for information on international autism research.
