Yahoo Groups

There are specialty groups set up on Yahoo that anyone can join at no cost. One group is Single Parents of Autism. In order to join these groups you have to set up a Yahoo account. Go to http://groups.yahoo.com and click on "register". You will be walked through the steps to register for a free account. When you have completed this process you can search through the many available groups for "autism" or go directly to ones you have heard about (e.g. single parents of autism.)*

* To avoid getting unwanted business solicitations sent via Yahoo to your regular email, go to http://my.yahoo.com, sign in if necessary (click the sign in link and and enter your username and password,) and click on Account Info in the upper left corner. You will need to enter your password again. Look at your profile- immediately under your email address you will see "Edit your marketing preferences." Click on that and set everything to 'No.' Save Changes (the button at the bottom). Once that's done, carry on - a very useful service but worth taking that precaution! :)
