Dallas, TX (PRWEB) October 22, 2007 -- projectLD, LLC, announces the release of http://www.autismspot.com AutismSpot is a unique community revolutionizing the way families find help and support with the challenges of autism.
The search for diagnosis is a devastating process, and yet it is only the beginning of the journey. "What now?" is the terrifying thought on parents' minds as they search for solutions. At the heart of AutismSpot is a comprehensive online library featuring hundreds of videos from doctors, therapists, educators, and parents. This extensive library allows families - at the click of a mouse - to watch and learn from leading experts and parents who work and live with those on the Autism Spectrum.
Videos range in length from 1 minute to more than 20 minutes and cover topics such as Daily Living, Education, Family, Health, Therapy, Recovery and much more. To reinforce this valuable content, videos are supplemented by downloadable materials and links to further research related topics.
"As a parent of a child with Autism, I know first hand the difficulties of deciphering the research as well as the expense involved in treating someone on the Spectrum. AutismSpot captures the best practices, the more than 75 different therapies, tools and home program ideas from around the world and presents them in an affordable format that is current and relevant to today's society." said Kent Potter, Founder and CEO of AutismSpot.

Members can watch and learn directly from professionals that they might never have had the opportunity to connect to directly. With hundreds of videos filmed to date, AutismSpot is filming and releasing new content every week.
"We know the importance of relevant and practical information especially considering the astonishing incidence rate that 1 in every 150 children in the U.S. will be diagnosed with Autism. The estimated cost of raising a child on the Spectrum is more than two million dollars. We have built this resource to help lighten some of that burden by offering annual subscriptions for less than the price of a single therapy session." said Kevin Howren, Founder and CTO of AutismSpot.
