Welcome!
The Autism Treatment Forum is a group for parents and others interested in the dietary, nutritional, and bio-medical treatment of autism spectrum disorders. We are sponsored by the Autism Society of Greater Austin. Sometimes we have a speaker, and sometimes we have an open discussion. We meet on the first Wednesday of every month (except major holidays), from 7:00 to 8:30 pm, at the Old Quarry Library. All meetings are free and open to the public. No reservation or RSVP is ever necessary, but please leave your children at home, if possible. Click on "Files" at the left of this screen for helpful resources.

New Greeting for“ Well, we took Zachary to Chuck E. Cheese this weekend and that didn't go to well, so it was a waste of $45.00 and of course, Dad (Jarod) was really upset. Zachary got over stimulated there and starting running all over the place, would not sit still, pushing other kids out of the way and started playing their games and through 2 major temper tantrums in the middle of the floorso all together it only last 45 minutes. So we decided to stay with playing games and watching TV at home. ”posted by Trista
