Asperger Experts -

Thank you to our friend Michelle Marcin for sharing this resource.  I have begun reviewing some of the information on this site, and what I have seen so far has been useful information.  I plan to review additional materials and see if we can purchase some of these items for our Autism Resource Library.  Let me know your thoughts. http://www.aspergerexperts.com
If you know of other resources that we should consider adding to the Resource library let us know.
