The Global and Regional Asperger Syndrome Partnership

The Global and Regional Asperger Syndrome Partnership known as GRASP is a site dedicated to providing assistance to people with autism spectrum disorders. Within GRASP's site, people can find information about education, support groups, advocacy, and much more.

GRASP also includes links to various websites including sites run by people with autism, chat rooms and message boards, education and service organizations, college assistance programs, science and medication information, and support groups.
The site also includes additional resources such as advocacy and support on a state-by-state basis and informati0n about housing and employment.

In the Interview and Articles section people can read about people's lives with autism spectrum. Here the articles vary from people whose family members have autism, to children, adults who discovered late in life that they had autism and much more. Even those who don't have a firm grasp on what autism is can learn about it. There are articles about the myths of autism and even gives some history about it. Whether you have autism, know someone who does or are just interested in learning, GRASP is a great site to check out.

to articles and resources that we know of AND trust, we hope that
we have taken a big step forward in serving thhe Spanish speaking
community, and we look forward to the input of new and existing
