    The AUTISM Mailing List

   The AUTISM Mailing List ([e-mail]) is an open
   e-mail-based forum to discuss autism hosted by St. Johns University,
   and administered by Ray Kopp ([e-mail]). It includes
   parents, autistic people, researchers, professionals, students, and
   other people interested in autism. Discussion is lively: many weeks
   see 500 or more postings. It is a very good forum for posing a
   question for which you do not know who would have the answer.

   There is a FAQ memo specifically about the list at
   http://web.syr.edu/~rjkopp/autismlistfaq.html

   The mailing list is administered by the software, LISTSERV, which
   gives you the ability to subscribe, sign off, get past messages, stop
   mail during vacations, get the mail in a digest, and other things, all
   without the necessity of asking someone to do it for you. You can get
   instructions in how to do these things by sending the text "help" to
   the address [e-mail]. Here are brief
   instructions for some of the more common requests it can handle:

   Subscribing to the list
          Send the text "subscribe autism Firstname Lastname" (i.e., with
          your first name and last name) as the first line of an e-mail
          message to [e-mail]. LISTSERV will reply
          with a confirmation request including its own instructions.
          Once you are subscribed, you will receive all mail sent to
          [e-mail], and any mail you send to that
          address will be sent to all the members of the AUTISM mailing
          list.

   Signing off of the list
          Send the text "signoff autism" as the first line of an e-mail
          message to [e-mail].

   Receiving the postings in digests
          Once you are subscribed, you can adjust LISTSERV to send the
          postings to you as one long message per day instead of the
          usual one hundred or more. To set this up, send the text "set
          autism digest" to [e-mail].

   Note: do not send requests to subscribe or sign off to the list
   itself. This practice results in thousands of people getting lots of
   extra messages. Be careful to send LISTSERV commands to LISTSERV, or
   contact the folks who run the list.

      Who to e-mail about issues relating to the AUTISM mailing list

   If you have a question about autism, you can join the list and ask it
   to the list members. If you need to contact someone about an issue
   with the list itself, you can contact the list administator, Ray Kopp
   ([e-mail]).

    AUTISM Mailing List Archives

   The LISTSERV software keeps an archive of all the messages ever posted
   to the AUTISM Mailing List, and you can make it search and retrieve
   messages from the archive. To search the archive via the web, open:
   http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/autism.html

   To search the archives through e-mail (if you have no web access),
   send an e-mail message to [e-mail] with a
   "search" command as the body of your message such as the single line:

search 'greenspan' in autism

   LISTSERV will return a list of all postings that match your search
   command, giving a number for each posting which you can use to
   retrieve it. In this example it returns all postings to autism since
   it started which contain the string greenspan anywhere in their body.
   You can further narrow your search by time, sender, or subject of the
   postings. Here are 3 example search commands:

search 'greenspan' in autism since 96/7/24
search 'greenspan' in autism where sender contains 'smith'
search * in autism where subject contains 'intro'

   In the first example LISTSERV lists all postings that have the word
   greenspan anywhere in their body and were posted to the autism list
   since July 24, 1996.

   In the second example LISTSERV lists all postings containing the word
   greenspan in their body that were ever posted to the autism list and
   had smith anywhere in the "From:" mail header line.

   In the third example the asterisk (*) means to list all postings which
   contain the word intro anywhere in their subject header.

   Once you receive the list of matching postings from LISTSERV you
   review this list and decide which if any you want to receive. Each
   posting listed will have a number in the left most column that is used
   to identify the posting to LISTSERV. To receive several of the
   postings listed you must send another message to LISTSERV using the
   "getpost" command to request the postings you want LISTSERV to return.
   For example if you requested a list of postings using the "search"
   command and decided that you want postings numbered 153, 756, 757,
   758, and 1821 then you would send a message back to
   [e-mail] with this single line as the body of
   your message:

getpost autism 153 756 757 758 1821

   Since you want three sequential postings 756, 757, and 758 you can
   indicate them as a range in your "getpost" command like this:

getpost autism 153 756-758 1821

   LISTSERV will return the postings you requested combined into a single
   return message. If you want to get all postings posted since February
   12, 1997 you could send [e-mail] this line as a
   message:

search * in autism since 97/2/12

   When LISTSERV returns the list of postings look at the first and last
   entries in the list and see what their ID numbers are. For example
   they could be 3244 and 3585. If so then send back to LISTSERV another
   message using those ID numbers as the start and end of a range of
   postings for it to return. For example:

getpost autism 3244-3585

    Other Mailing lists

   See section "Initiatives" below about ANI-L, and other lists.

    Frequently Asked Questions Memo (this memo)

   An introduction to autism to answer questions that people frequently
   have about it. The memo began in early 1993 and has grown as of late
   1998 to over 7500 lines of text. The material is largely factual
   material posted, sometimes repeatedly, on mailing lists that discuss
   autism. If people ask about it, it belongs here. Web address of FAQ
   Memo:

   http://www.autism-resources.com/autism.faq.html

   Other versions of this memo are available. In one, recent changes to
   the memo are marked; in the other, the memo is broken into smaller
   pages of 500 lines each for people with web browsers that cannot
   handle 3000+ lines. Both of these are at the "Autism Resources" web
   site, specifically through the page with URL:

   http://www.autism-resources.com/faqformats.html

    What this FAQ memo is and what it isn't

   The nature and treatment of Autism remains sufficiently controversial
   that in order for a FAQ memo to avoid giving you just one viewpoint,
   it cannot answer the difficult question: "which treatment really
   works". And the FAQ memo certainly doesn't give medical advice. What a
   FAQ memo does is document facts such as definition of terms,
   references to books, organizations, and treatment programs, even "who
   is saying what about what"; essentially, background material both to
   help you understand what is being said in the online discussions, in
   books, in talking with professionals, and in understanding what people
   are saying when they tell you about the best methods. The FAQ memo
   avoids making judgements about treatments (with one big exception: it
   gives no credence to the idea popular in the 1950s that Autism is
   caused by poor parenting), but this in itself skews its message: by
   documenting the most unlikely treatments along with the mainstream
   ones, it can induce the reader to give them undue credit. Please keep
   this in mind.

   Also, the FAQ memo is certainly imperfect both in its accuracy and its
   avoidence of opinion. But it is constantly improved through the
   suggestions and corrections of its readers.

    Web Page & Other Online Information

   In general, this FAQ memo does not list online resources: rather than
   fill this memo with URLs for you to type in, I have assembled them in
   one convenient web page to compliment this memo. The web page (which
   includes this FAQ Memo) is called "Autism Resources" and is at:
