Tonight I came across the new Spring/Summer 2008 issue of Odyssey, published by the Clerc Center.

The cover story is on autism in deaf children. There are six articles on autism and deafness, including two personal stories and advice from another parent. Deafness and autism is so rarely written about, that I recommend this magazine for parents of deaf children with autism. It can be downloaded free from the Clerc Center Odyssey website.
Direct download link.
