Are their interactive parenting groups on-line for parents with autistic children?

Question

I have an autistic daughter (Age Four). She is middle of the line Autism. I found lots of research organizations. Lot's of video's. Lot's of advice. I have not been able to find any kind of inter-active bulletin boards or chat rooms or anything similar to find other parents with children defined as autistic. Their are three autistic children in my neighborhood but they all have different degrees and symptoms that differ from my daughters so it makes it difficult for us to talk about things in any terms to relate with each other. I really want to find more parents with autistic kids especially children with the severe mid-label like my daughter has. Any suggestions on where to find other parents of autistic children that I could relate to would be very helpful. Please help!
