Autism Live

What Autism Live does

Autism Live is a privately held, interactive web-based show founded in 2012 and based in Woodland Hills, California. The platform delivers free resources, expert guidance, and community support to parents, teachers, and practitioners working with children on the autism spectrum. Its core product is a single interactive webshow format hosted on autism-live.com, where viewers submit questions to clinical experts (most prominently Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh of the Center for Autism and Related Disorders), suggest topics, and share progress updates. The underlying technology is a standard web video streaming platform with community participation features; no proprietary technology, APIs, or AI components are documented.

The platform serves three primary customer segments — parents of children with autism, teachers working with autistic students, and autism therapy practitioners (BCBAs, RBTs, therapists) — using a horizontal segmentation approach. Distribution is direct-to-consumer globally via the website and syndicated across YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and an email newsletter. Revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed: the platform offers free content with no premium tier, and the available data suggests likely reliance on advertising, sponsorships, or affiliated organizational funding through its CARD partnership. The company operates with 1-10 employees and appears independently financed with no disclosed funding rounds or external investors. Brand authority is closely anchored to the CARD affiliation and Dr. Granpeesheh's clinical credentials (over 40 years of practice since 1979, BCBA certification, oversight of 1,000+ patients across 20 global clinic sites).
