Here is what NLM has to say about http://www.autismaroundtheglobe.org/:
Autism around the Globe is an interactive web-based project which focuses on raising public awareness of how autism affects those in different parts of the world. The goals of our project are to:
* raise global public awareness of autism,
* increase understanding of how cultural variations affect how autism is viewed and experienced,
* provide information about autism and a directory of international autism resources,
* develop supportive networks of families and professionals in autism communities around the world, and
* encourage international research collaboration in autism-related fields.
As a major feature of this website, we share compelling personal stories from contributors around the world whose lives have in some way been affected by autism. We feature multiple perspectives, highlighting the thoughts and experiences of parents, siblings, and individuals with autism themselves as well as educators, researchers, social workers, therapists, and other professionals.
We welcome submissions of personal accounts of autism from anywhere in the world. If you are or know of an individual with autism, parent, caregiver, family member, or professional involved in your local autism community who might be interested in submitting a short story for inclusion on our web site, please visit
http://www.autismaroundtheglobe.org/submit_story.asp for information on how to participate.
