Need help.

[conuly]

One of my friends (who's neither confirmed nor denied that this is okay, so I'm saying this vaguely) needs a bit of help. She's looking into schooling/therapy options for her young son who is very likely (but not confirmed) autistic. Big issue right now is communication. She understands him to some extent, but he's not talking or signing or anything like that.

I'm hardly the expert on autistic education here, so if people who know more than I could just give a quick rundown of things she wants to look out for because they're Very Very Bad, and provide links on what they think is more useful, that'd be good.

Thanks. Most of my friends who know about this know more than I do, so I'm really counting on youse guys to help.

Oh and I don't know what DAN is, and the picture thing, I've even done that with my other ones when they were little...
