Putting the Pieces TOGETHER
About Us
Hello, my name is Jim Putnam. I am the founder of Blue Lightning Media. We are the
designers & developers of AutismSpotlight.com.
As a Dad of Autism, I would like to give a special and sincere thanks with all of my heart, to ALL therapists, clinics, organizations and Autism advocates for their love, and increasing support in helping these children receive a Life of Happiness, Success and Independence!
My son Drew was diagnosed with Autism at 2 ½ years old. Like most parents, we were overwhelmed with the different options and therapies available. After extensive research, mixed with trial and error, we introduced Drew to ABA Therapy. We have had Drew in ABA Therapy for the past two years now. ABA has helped Drew in all aspects of his daily life, from learning to verbally communicate to trying new foods.
The hardest thing for my wife and me was continuing and re-enforcing the learning structure that Drew was receiving during the day. Putting technology to the test, I had my team of web developers create AutismSpotlight.com to help provide a cost effective solution for all of us whose lives are touched by Autism. We provide the ability to interact with our therapists and peers after hours, receive updates and news, along with the ability to watch training videos which help us continue to work with our children at home, keeping consistent with their therapy.
I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to visit AutismSpotlight.com every day, and contribute as much as you possibly can. I believe that Autism is reversible. I believe we can globally unify and raise awareness to previously unattainable heights. I believe the government will notice, and I believe we will make a difference. I welcome each and every member and welcome all of your suggestions and ideas.
Please take a moment and see first hand all of the possibilities an online social networking community can provide you with.
Putting the pieces TOGETHER, I remain,
Sincerely Yours,
Jim Putnam

TESTIMONIALS:
Hi Jim: The website had added a wonderful interactive communication tool to our program. Our communication with parents has become much more efficient as a result of the site. Also, I'm looking forward to providing more detailed information about teaching various skills, managing problem behaviors, and behavior analysis discussion through the site. You and Matt have really help move our program forward by creating and managing the new website.

This site has been wonderfully put together, and has not only been a linking device in bringing awareness of our program and autism to people everywhere, but has also provided a more formal means of communication with all involved with the clinic. Through this site, I have been able to send out new information to the parents and therapists late at night and on weekends, when I am doing most of my work. It has been a wonderful way to keep in touch with others in the autism community whom I do not see as often and sometimes lose touch with. This web site has also helped to promote many events going on, not just with the clinic, but in the autism community in general. It is very easy to navigate, and easy to learn. My favorite piece to the web site is the way that I am able to get out information, and fast, but also get responses and input from others. It is a great way to bounce ideas off of each other, especially when posting something in a group format. It is also a wonderful way for parents to informally have a chance to chat with others who live with autism on a daily basis. This web site has been a phenomenal addition to our clinic! Thanks, Jim!!!
