Resources in Great Falls

When my 8 year old son was diagnosed with autism 2 years ago the doctor told me to get some books and look on the internet when I asked "what do we do now?"  I wonder if he would have given the same advise to a patient with cancer. I felt betrayed by the medical community but am pleased to report that we are in the appropriate therapy and he is blossoming. 
If you are in the same shoes- tell me about it.  I have been inspired by my struggle to formulate a resource list to help parents get started.
