ASD Review: A support centre for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

ASD Review is designed to be a support centre for parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.  It was created by mother and CEO Danielle Butcher after her own son (who was diagnosed with ASD in 2011) was rejected from entry to multiple schools due to his unique needs.

The idea behind the website is by parents, for parents. A forum so that parents of ASD children can make informed decisions, find support and ask questions of those who truly understand. There are sections for everything: Education, which ranges from preschool to tertiary education; Health; Lifestyle, which includes everything from hairdressers to sporting groups; Products and finally Travel & Attractions. Parents can add a listing to the website and will be notified by email when other members respond.

Although only created in 2011, the website has garnered a lot of national attention and grows larger every day. If you’re interested in finding out more, or seeing the website for yourself, follow the link:
