Autism, Epilepsy & Seizures
How to Recognize the Signs and Basic First Aid When You Do
Overview
The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation Community Resources© are original collaborations with leading service providers that address gaps in information that is much-needed by the community of people diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their families. All of the resources have been co-created with expert partners who also share them with their constituents as well as the community at large. Our community resources are free and downloadable or can be obtained at a minimal cost that only benefits our partnering organization.
