Where you got your teaching qualification from would be the best place to start to search our more information on teaching special needs children. You could also try your local special needs school to see if they have any resources you could use.
Organizations like Autism Speak and NHS provide great information for early signs for autism. They require no payment for obtaining the information. The quality of the information is accurate and easy to comprehend.
The best thing that you can do for your autistic child is to learn about autism from autistic people - completely and utterly ignore anything that organisations like Autism Speaks tells you about autism, they are known as a hate group by the autistic community and cause a lot of harm by spreading false information and negative messages about autism. Always presume competence and don't treat autism like it is a negative trait.
The process of increasing autism awareness in the United States has been an issue that has steadily risen in the last 25 years. Currently, sites like Autism Speaks have information and events that people can take part in for this endeavor.

There is no cure for autism, and hopefully there never will be.Autism is a neurological difference, a variation in human beings just like race. The only way to 'cure' autism would be to eradicate Autistic people, like suggesting to eradicate African-American people this would be highly unethical and would be considered eugenics. Many people are trying to 'cure' autism via pre-natal screening and genetic modification, hopefully this doesn't happen.
I would like to say yes. If I am correct, there are medications and ways of dealing with autism. One of my friends is autistic, and you can barely tell he has autism, though she does need a little bit of cheering up every once in a while.
There is no recovery from autism because Autism is not an illness. Autism is a neurological difference, a variation in human beings like race, eye colour, etc. A person is born Autistic and will always be Autistic, there's no reason to 'recover' because there's nothing inferior about being Autistic.
no.
No, stealing is not a trait of Autism. Stealing is a personal choice not a behaviour as a result of a neurological variation like Autism.
Nothing. The term autism is not an acronym like ADHD or PTSD.
It may be a habit that they like to do I have autism and I did that as well especilly when I am bored
I imagine it would be testing and even frustrating at times, but it would also be a gift to have someone with autism in the family. I don't have autistic siblings, but I've had and still have many autistic friends and they're great guys and girls.
