John Leon’s Story

“I am the father of two teenage boys with autism.

Since 2002, my wife and I have done what most autism parents do: we searched the internet, read books, participated on forums, and talked to anyone that could give us information to help our boys.

As you all know, searching for information is time consuming, exhausting, and frustrating because it is a never ending task.

In 2014, my wife got tired of me complaining about search difficulties one night and said, “You’re an engineer, Fix it!”

Well, I wasn’t thrilled about that idea, but I didn’t back down from the challenge either.

I talked to hundreds of parents and practitioners asking them what was important to them when they search.

Then I put together a small team, and we developed an online search system to incorporate those features into our site.  The result is what we call The Autism Exchange (AEX).

Our site is different than most, and we think you will find it to be very helpful.”

Website Launch

Before the Autism Exchange goes live on the internet, they would like to select a few groups of autism parents to check out the web site and kick the tires a little.

They expect the trial period (soft launch) to last a few months.

The only thing that they ask in return is that users fill out an online survey to give them feedback. They will email the survey a week or so after you login.

They want to hear what you think, so please take the survey and help them make the site better.

Once the trial period is complete, they will perform an update to the site and go live on the internet.
