Welcome to Autisable.com!

Autism: 1 in 150 are diagnosed with autism every day - more than almost any other disorder or disease.

Parents and families have many places to go to obtain information about autism, but fewer places dedicated to helping them connect with each other and share their own personal stories.

We've launched this site with the hope of creating a supportive community where you can share your struggles and victories. And through this sharing, we hope to help spread awareness about the full range of autism spectrum disorders.

Thanks to Xanga.com and the Brain Fried Network, a portion of the revenue generated from Autisable will be donated to Autism Research.

So if you're among the millions who are struggling with the puzzle of autism or if you're just interested in learning more, please feel free to join today!

Thanks and welcome to Autisable!

Why can I not get to this through my xanga blog? I have Asperger's, I have a blog there, I'd like to be able to link straight through. I'll be keeping an eye on this site.

@jackyblue - site just launched today. What's your Xanga blog? maybe we could ask Xangateam to switch you over to Autisable from Xanga?

@jackyblue - Nevermind, I musta found a bug, was trying to log in under a xanga user name to this dotcom, I'm sure it'll become part of the drop down menu, right? =P

@edlives@xanga - Hopefully by people WITH autism...

Everyone is saying wonderful and great and nothing else... I've been posting about autism on xanga for a YEAR and it's hardly gotten notice. It's seriously about time we got a forum going. Now, how about making special forums about all those other pesky problems in life...

You guys may regret giving me my own special forum...

@edlives@xanga - Don't worry, already well grounded and ready to rock. I LIKE xanga, but might throw a little code on my new blog here so I'll look the same.

Uh... this thing doesn't work. I can't read more than half a post... when I click on "more here" it takes me back to the front page and what I was reading disappears... am I doing something wrong? Other than that, this site is a good idea...

This is fabulous. One of my friends has an autistic brother and I've seen it can be a struggle. I think this website is a great idea =]

I heard that, more and more, autistic people want others to stop looking at their disorder as a problem. Much like deaf people, they have developed their own unique community, and no one can quite understand what it's like to be them unless you've been in their shoes.

I think your facts are slightly off

it's not 1 in 150 people diagnosed every day, it's 1 in every 150 individuals will be diagnosed in their lifetime (source: autismspeaks.org). In saying that, this is a great idea for a site
