Autism resource for libraries

Here is a great resource: Libraries and Autism: We're Connected.  Many library users have autism, and most library staff don't know the first thing about interacting with them appropriately.  We've just never been trained.  This website offers resources about communication, customer service tips, a video, workshop resources, contacts for more information, and a lot more.  Public libraries and school libraries especially should check this site out.
