A MyAutismTeam Member

I love my baby so much and my heart wants another child but the fear of having another child with autism scares me so much. its Not the actual diagnosis that scares me because my boys best attributes (honesty, caring, humour, infectious personality) are all apart of his autism it's more that I am scared of… read more

Has Anybody Heard Of Cindy Hebbard: Freedom For Autism?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

So, I saw this add for a program for our kids that claims 100% positive results. Apparently, it is tailored to each individual child to take specific steps to improve their behavior, diets, social skills, etc. without the use of ABA. I had a one on one call with the founder last week and she claims to have a daughter on the spectrum that has learned to thrive through her program and her website touts other testimonials of people who have seen social, emotional, and verbal improvements in their… read more

Does Anyone Know Where We Can Obtain Funding For Developing A Program For Young ASD Adults (age 21+) ?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My daughter and 2 of her classmates will soon "age-out" of our state's education program for special needs children. They have "behaviors" that will prevent them from obtaining and keeping a job. There are also no affordable facilities or programs for young adults in our area. As a group we would like to develop a program similar to the one they have at school but lack the funds. I've researched online but was only shown sites to obtain funding for chartering a school which is not what we… read more
