Autism Resource Library

The Internet has thousands of websites about autism spectrum disorders, some extremely well done, and others making miraculous claims or presenting dubious cures. This 'digital library' is an extension of Autism Nova Scotia's print collection, and functions in much the same way - to provide quality information resources about autism spectrum disorder.

Thus, this digital library is not exhaustive, nor is that the intention. This section is meant to provide a gateway to quality information resources so that you can build up a knowledge base of good material from which to search for more. If you ever have questions about a website you have found (on this list or through some other means), please contact us to discuss your concerns or your enthusiasm.

This digital library is divided into different category headings (links below), similar to our print collection, plus a group of miscellaneous links. Please report any broken/dead links to the Autism Nova Scotia at info@autismns.ca

FAQ #1
How many people in Nova Scotia have autism spectrum disorders?
Current data indicates that ASDs occur in 1 of every 110 people. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, USA, 2009) Diagnostic criteria have been more clearly defined and broadened in recent years, and this does account for some increase in diagnosis. The apparent rise of cases is one of the many controversies surrounding autism.
