I really enjoyed looking and exploring your website. There is information offered about treatments and therapies on this website that is difficult to find scientific information on when searching under search engines.
I really liked that you offered a glossary of terms that could be accessed to find definitions of words used in the postings and articles. I would suggest, however, that some of the medical and scientific terms and jargon could be changed in order to make the website more user friendly. Families that have a child that was recently diagnosed with autism may get overwhelmed and discouraged by the wealth of scientific terms.
Also, I enjoyed that there were therapies and treatments listed on the website and research backing them up. I would suggest, however, that some academic interventions would also be listed. This information would be helpful for parents to research for their individual child. This information would also be beneficial for teachers that may be looking for helpful interventions for their students. Specific software, resources, and curriculum could also be listed for parents to research and use in order to help them find the best interventions and treatments for their children.
Thanks for the great site!

As the site creator, I want to thank you for your feedback!
We are constantly working to take out the scientific jargon and your comment is a a reminder for us to work harder.
We would love to expand into specific academic interventions. For now, our policy is to add fact sheets based upon the survey by Green et al on popularity of different therapeutic approaches.
I will add a wiki page on academic interventions in the hope that you would be willing to start the ball going by making some recommendations
