Question
Hello Mr. Roan, my name is Chance Gamble I am a college student at Hardin Simmons University in Texas. I was given an assignment to write a research paper about PDD and Autsim, and was wondering if you could suggest some resources I could use to further research my topics.      

Thanks, Chance Gamble

Answer
Hi Chance:

What an interesting name! The number one name for Asperger's (PDD-NOS) research is Simon Baron-Cohen and Lorna Wing. For autism I suggest Patricia Howlin, Geraldine Dawson, Julie Osterling, Eric Schopler, and Gary Mesibov.


Good luck on what may become a lifelong practice!

Kind Regards,
James
