AutismLink Launches Mentor Program

[Guest guest]

Remember how you felt when you heard the word " AUTISM? "

Remember what it was like when your child was first diganosed with

autism spectrum disorder? If you were anything like me, you felt

lost, confused, and pretty much that your world had ended. You heard

the dreaded " A " word. I remember what it was like, vividly, and I'm

sure you do too.

AutismLink wants to help parents of newly diagnosed children by

launching our newest venture -- our mentor program.

(http://www.autismlink.com/mentor/)

Here's how! it works:

If you're a parent who has been through the ropes, your child was

diagnosed a bit ago, you know the system and can provide information

and support to another parent, sign up. Join the mentor list, and

when a parent in your area needs help, we'll pair you up. It's that

simple.

If you can spare some time to help a new mom or dad in the same

situation you were in not too long ago, then sign up. It may be a

phone call, or a few emails, or just a shoulder to lean on. But

everyone needs someone!

Just go to http://www.autismlink.com/mentor -- sign up to help other

people. At the bottom, click on " I want to be a mentor. "

If you're a parent of a newly diagnosed child, fill out the same form,

and click on " I need a mentor " and we'll pair you with someone in your

area who can help.
