If someone close to you has recently been diagnosed with autism, you are not alone.

The incidence of autism has risen dramatically over the last decade, and increasingly there are resources to meet the needs of individuals and their families dealing with the disorder. Sinneave Family Foundation aims to build on the existing resources, programs and research, and to help coordinate those efforts to improve the lives of those living with autism at any age.

Because diagnoses are on the rise, so is the mountain of information – and misinformation – available. Sinneave Family Foundation is committed to providing resources and information based on the best available science and supported by the most experienced and trusted autism experts and professionals.

For more information on issues relating to Autism, please visit the following resources provided by the Sinneave Family Foundation: About Autism, Adults and Autism, and Autism and Your Family, or visit our Autism Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).

For help navigating through the next steps after diagnosis, sign up for the The Navigator (a collaboration between Sinneave Family Foundation and the Boston Children’s Hospital) or contact Sharon Nagel, MSW, Resources and Information navigator.
