I received the expat issue of the Telegraph today and saw this article in it, which might bring some encouragement to you. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/global/main.jhtml?xml=/global/2006/10/23/hsparrow23.xml
It gives a link to another website at the bottom and just in case it slips your attention after so much reading, here it is: http://www.ukyap.org/

I work in a special needs school and have a lot of children with autism, get normal toys that 2 years would play with, the kids at school have normal things like train sets and dolls etc. Google Autism and the national autism site will come up, if hes not talking then maybe think about signing or theres a thing we use a t school called PECs picture exchange communication system, another form of communicating, alot of the children with autism have special diets too to control behaviour, like gluten, dairy, wheat free, so if behaviour is a prob that may help. also have a structured routine, let your son know what hes doing when etc keep it simple, but dont spring things on him it may throw him and this may upset him. hope this helps
try www.guidetoautism.com down loaded it off net not yet read it so not sure how good it is.
www.nas.org (national autism society) lots on there, ie help in your area.
www.babybumblebee.com(or co.uk not sure) vocab building videos

hi i dont no of any good websites and i am not a mother but i have worked with a few autistic children and if you would like to chat please email me on happy-happy_happy@hotmail.co.uk.
also just remember your little boy is still the speacial little boy you have had scince he was born and is no less speacial. and also depending on the severness he could still grow up to be a really intelligent person as all the experience i have had with autistic children has shown me that they are very inteligent.
good luck
