MyAutismTeam is a free social network that makes it easy for you to:
get the emotional support you need from others like you, and
gain practical advice and insights on managing treatment or therapies for autism
When you or a loved one are first diagnosed, it's not uncommon to feel alone and uncertain of where to find the best information and people that can help you now. We believe in making it easy to find the best people around you to help you get the answers you need, and to find support from people who can truly relate. The main currency on our site is trust – the more you share in posts and your stories, the more questions you ask and answer, the more your support will be valued by other members.
MyAutismTeam is the only social network where you can truly connect, make real friendships, and share daily ups and downs in a judgment-free place.

75 years ago, a movement began that changed the world for people affected by MS.
The National MS Society brings the MS movement together—and turns our power and passion into real results. When the Society was founded 75 years ago, MS was neglected and poorly understood. What began as one woman's vision and commitment is now a nationwide organization leading the global charge to create a world free of MS.

For Entrepreneurs
O-Bless is a platform to publish your next big idea and find the financial support it deserves. The platform aims to iron out an entrepreneur’s or a creator’s journey into becoming a success story. This platform leverages social networks and internet to offer entrepreneurs a transparent means to receive funds. We provide an opportunity to support businesses and new technology from the earliest stages of its development.
O-Bless offers a platform to entrepreneurs to tell their stories, create a business plan, and share their journey with the potential funders. We understand that the creators would want to control how the work comes together around their business idea.

Creativity inspires creativity, and we want creative individuals to get encouraged and drive the funding campaign. We want the ideas to accelerate and escalate into successful organizations.

We strive to use science to address the social, educational, and treatment concerns of self-advocates, parents, autism professionals, and caregivers. The mission of “applying” research to answer questions of daily concern to those living with autism defines our goals and program objectives and shapes our budget.Book resource graphic icon
In addition to funding research, our mission includes the requirements to:
Disseminate new and useful information to as many members of the autism community as possible, and
Direct all research and programs initiatives toward enhancing the quality of life for individuals with autism.
If you are wondering what we mean by applied research, we define it as research that directly impacts the day-to-day quality of life of learners with autism. It entails the systematic investigation of variables associated with positive outcomes in such areas as education, communication, self care, social skills, employment, behavior, and adult and community living. In this context, it extends to issues related to family support, the efficacy of service delivery systems, and demographic analyses of the autism community.
