I'm trying to think of various resources that have been helpful in our journey with Asperger's. In the last couple of years, I've had a few conversations with moms who had recent autism diagnoses for their kids and I have so much I could share with them, but it's just too much information to unload at once, or in a few conversations.
http://life-with-aspergers.blogspot.ca/ A gentleman named Gavin Bollard writes this blog and one of the reasons it's so packed with information is because not only does he have two children on the spectrum, he himself has been diagnosed with Asperger's. He's a fantastic writer and provides so much insight into the issues found on the spectrum.
http://www.facebook.com/makingroom This one has been created by Michael Woods, another father with kids on the spectrum. This is a Christian family, so the content is definitely faith-based. I love that he is very honest about his challenges, however, he encourages people to look for positives and to have a good attitude in the midst of it.

http://www.paulakluth.com/ Wow! Isn't that just like God? As I'm writing this blog, a friend posts this on my FB profile! God does see us and He cares about the stuff we experience.

http://autismdivahelp.blogspot.ca/ This blog is written by one of the women I "met" in the Autism Winnipeg FB group. Her name is Lou Lovrin and she's a tell-it-like-it-is kind of lady :) I think when we become autism parents, we all become a little more outspoken!

Great article on sensory needs! I think this describes it well. We all have sensory needs (wiggling your foot as you sit with your legs crossed, jingling something in your pocket, hating to wear socks, etc). The difference is that it can become such a huge preference that it causes issues.

Helpful article on anxiety.
I'll keep adding to this list as time goes on.
