Autism Free Zone

Ha! Made you look... there's still Autism in these parts... :)

Please take a look at this site.

Here is an excerpt of what the purpose is:

"You are probably wondering what is www.AutismFreeZone.com? Here's my idea...

AutismFreeZone is the first community based web-site focused on helping families impacted with autism deal with the financial hardships that have overwhelmed us. As our economy struggles, so too do we who want nothing more than to fund our kid's diet, school program, interventions and more, yet we are not sure how to do it. Our family's approach is to just spend the money and deal with the consequences later, "This is our kid, how can we not do everything to help her" is what my wife always says. I believe it too, but here we are well into the journey and flailing financially.

Autismfreezone will save people money in many ways. The first thing is that there will be no membership fee for autismfreezone.com.

Next, the members will drive our initiatives, such as, which companies and products we need to get discounts from to benefit the largest percentage of members.

Here are some bullet points to help you understand some of our ideas that will manifest more fully with time.

1) A community based, password protected website for families with children on the spectrum.
2) A free-market (a la "Freecycle" for autism), where families can give those things they are done with and get needed items and services from each other for free.
3) Discounts from companies that have products which are needed by the community.
4) A knowledge portal that can be easily navigated.
5) Social networking tools, such as, video posts, podcasts, blogs and chats.
6) Sweepstakes, profit sharing and fund-raising to benefit the member families directly.

We need to have as MANY MEMBERS as possible. Power in numbers! The more people in our group the more incentive for companies, organizations and the government to listen and give us what we need: FINANCIAL RELIEF.

So for now sign-up. We will be sending out emails to keep you updated.

We will do a pre-launch to show you how AutismFreeZone is going to help all of our members save money through the power of community. This is slated for the end of May.

Please feel free to comment, add your experiences and to help us build a place where all families impacted by autism can join together as we share our journey.

Families, THE TIME IS NOW, people are starting to hear us. We need to unite, for our kids and for our futures.

In my business, we say:

"Its show time!"

Best,

Randy"

You know I was just wondering last week how I would tackle a frequent keyword phrase that keeps popping up in my search analysis, 'the financial cost of Autism', and was browsing this site and found my way to Autism Freezone. The timing is perfect...and there are so many who could use this service!
