Curtis Maybin is the founder and editor of the Autism News Wire. The mission of the site is to foster global awareness about autism. The Autism News Wire has special sections on Gluten Free, Research, IPad, and various geographical locations around the world. Curtis told me that he has about 2,000 people getting his weekly newsletter and Autism News Wire gets about 5,000 unique hits each month originating from 77 different countries.
Curtis Maybin's role as a father of sons with autism has motivated him to do what he does through his Website. He told me that he started his Autism News Wire website two years ago as he was considering how to help his son, who has autism, and who is now 8 years old. A practical resource that Curtis Maybin recommends for parents is called Parenting Journals. Here is a picture of his two sons.
I asked Curtis Maybin what he considered the top news stories he has found across his wire and this is what he provided along with the links to read them.
- Connor Musk, who has Asperger's Syndrome, helped save a life of a 4 year old at a swimming pool
- Parents are finding answers to questions about autism on Facebook
