This page is intended to be the front page to a section of resources on autism covering Special Educational Needs, Statementing, Tribunals and Education Law. There will be links to many sites which provide better resources than I could ever provide but I'm happy to be a signpost :-)
OK - first off some sites for you if you are at present tearing your hair out over your child's education ...
