Tweaking for the betterment of humanity...

 People on the autism spectrum do not simply evaporate
at age 18 or 21.
Adults on the spectrum continue to exist.



Have you come to believe you or someone you love might have Asperger's syndrome / be on the autism spectrum, or has there been a recent diagnisis? Have you felt daunted by the prospect of wading through the results turned up by a search engine on the matter? Could you use a little help sorting it all out? You've come to the right place!
The Asperger's / Autism Toolbox organizes this information for you by providing listings of different resources, organized by category, so you can easily find the information and support that's right for you.
These listings are not meant to be exhaustive, but you can start your search here.

Assembly of the Toolbox began on August 1st, 2012.
The latest update occurred on June 7, 2013
with the inclusion of the
Autism Self-Advocacy Badge
at the bottom of this page.
Over time, more content is intended to be added to various sections.
Please check back again, from time to time, to see how the site has progressed.
