Where can parents with autistic children find online support groups?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

It pains the family involve to have someone with them suffering from autism. Most of the time we need to understand what it's all about, so that we could also understand and how to deal with a person with autism.
It is one, or maybe the very reason why support groups came to existence. To help families or the public in general to understand people with this kind of disability.
Support groups are often found in your local area, small or big groups. Since this disability happens globally, these support groups can be reached online still serving their purpose to the people who needs help.
There are a lot of online support groups available for everyone. I have found a list of online support group for autism.
