Autisable

Autisable is a well connected community based website that connects anyone who wants to discuss any topic associated with autism. In 2008, Autisable was launched as part of the Xanga.com, LLC network of blogging community sites, in an effort to provide an avenue for people to share their journey with Autism. The Xanga Team asked Joel Manzer to head up the site, as he has a son that is diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum. For the first 6 years Autisable grew in traffic and engagement with the community, connecting over a hundred bloggers and several national and international non-profits that reached over 30,000 unique IP's worldwide and over a hundred thousand page views a month. Then, Xanga shelved it's proprietary platform and old business model, which left Autisable on life support for over a year and a half.
