CheffoJeffo:
I was going to tell you this by email, but in case it helps someone else or shows up in a search, there are a couple of MUST (and I do mean MUST ... I have a much longer list of SHOULD) read books (links are to the first hits I got when searching):

Unraveling the Mystery of Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorder: A Mother's Story of Research and Recovery

The Autism Sourcebook: Everything You Need to Know about Diagnosis, Treatment, Coping, and Healing

There are tons of other resources and lots that has been discovered since these were written, but I think that every parent receiving an identification or diagnosis should read both of these books immediately.

I don't agree 100% with everything in these books, but they provide some potential avenues that should be explored as early as possible.

Even the slightest amount of research, as little as typing "autism" in over at Wikipedia, would show that autism is considered inherited by nearly all experts and theories.
