JustGotDiagnosed.com: Founded by Gary McClain -- Resource Links
Resource Links
There are a lot of Websites that list more resources than I could ever list, so here is a brief selection of sites that include information as well as links to other valuable sites. Please keep in mind that some are from companies and others from non-profit organizations. I can’t vouch for the specific information you will encounter, but I think they are good starting places. By the way, if you run across a site that you think is especially good, please send me a note at info@JustGotDiagnosed.com and tell me about it.
