I have been really amazed by how many really great, free resources there are online for parents like me trying to figure out our kids' issues and how to help them. A lot of my research has involved searching for studies, scanning articles, and following clues in print but I have found that audio and video presentations (such as podcasts and webinars) have been an invaluable tool for putting the pieces together into a coherent picture, and for learning some of the more complex info out there.
