It's now almost 2 years since the relocation and it will be 16 years next April since the list was first created. At the time it was created there were no other lists or online groups for parents seeking information and support specifically relating to autism. Now there are thousands and parents now face the dilemna of "sorting the wheat from the chaff"...so much information with too much of it 'unreliable' at best and 'snake-oil salesmen' around every corner. Yet throughout its existence the Autism List has survived without any hidden agendas or membership fees due to the goodwill of those members who have devoted their own time, energy and money to keep it as a place where parents of autistic children can seek reliable information and support either from the archive or by sending their questions to the list. The list needs your questions to keep doing what it was designed to do!
Happy New Year To All!
