We're in the military and our son has autism. I was wondering if there were any special grants or organizations that could help us? We're in the lower part of the pay scale. We also have a daughter, but so far no signs of autism with her. Thanks.

Try a Google or Yahoo search for "Autism Foundation." This will bring up a list of charatible foundations for autism, many of whom provide grants to families for intervention programs (there are too many to list here). Some of them are just for their local states or areas though. There are a lot of great, free resources online to help you as well. Here are some of my favorites:
