Social Network Launched for Parents

One in every 110 children is diagnosed with autism, so you would think that by now there would be more infrastructure to help parents navigate the murky waters of autism. But the truth is that too often, parents receive a diagnosis and are left to fend for themselves, with little to no understanding of what kinds of resources are available to them. Depending on where you live, you might be able to locate a nearby support group, but there’s no guarantee.
To help parents locate a stronger foothold in the uncharted terrain of autism, MyHealthTeams announced Tuesday the launch of MyAutismTeam, a social network designed exclusively for parents of autistic children.
