Learn More About Autism
Here are some links to help further your understanding of Autism. Our two boys were diagnosed with a form of Autism in 1998 and 2005, respectively, when they were two years old.
Ann and I have learned all about the disorder, and we've worked hard with Schools, Therapists, Teachers, Psychiatrists, the San Diego Regional Center, and others to develop a plan or course of
action for Brandon and Stephen's treatments. The one big thing we've learned is that early intervention is the key to making progress with their therapies and treatment. Please check out the links below
