Affiliate Disclosure

Our Mission

At ASD Mama, we are committed to providing the best possible free content to our readers.

Receive free samples and other free items in exchange for reviewing or discussing these items on ASD Mama. See Free Samples for details.

Honest Reviews

ASD Mama does not accept compensation in exchange for the promise of a positive review. Therefore, all opinions on this page, whether negative, positive, or neutral, are our own.

Financial Independence

ASD Mama has no direct or meaningful financial interest in any pharmaceutical companies, medical or psychological care providers, insurance companies, or manufacturers of ASD-related goods, other than off-the-shelf investments through mutual funds, ETFs, etc.

Affiliate Links

What is an affiliate link?

ASD Mama contains many links to websites that are owned or operated by third parties.

The third-party links on this site may be “affiliate links.” If you click on an affiliate link and place an order with the owner of the external site, we may receive a commission, special discount, or other benefit(s). This is our compensation for referring you to that site.

How will I know if I am clicking on an affiliate link?

If you click a link and the top-level domain of the destination site is not https://asdmama.com, you have clicked on a third-party link.

You should assume that any third-party link on this page is an affiliate link.

As our affiliate relationships grow, we may edit previously published posts to add new affiliate links or to change old links to links with affiliate functionality.

Why do you use affiliate links?

The commissions and incentives from affiliate relationships help us to keep the site up and running. Additionally, they allow us to earn some tangible benefits from this project.

We are committed to offering in-depth content on life on the autism spectrum. Our goal is to create content that cannot be found anywhere else on the net. As such, we spend a lot of time researching and publishing our posts. Commissions compensate us for the hard work that goes into this process. Most importantly, they motivate us to keep the lights on and let us know that we are introducing you to information, products, and services that you really love!

Free Samples

On occasion, ASD Mama may publish reviews of products that we have not purchased. For instance, a manufacturer of sensory products may offer to send us a free sample in exchange for a review or mention on our site and/or social media profiles. In this case, we may agree to this proposal.

Why do you accept free samples?

Some sites promise never to review free samples. However, we believe that a similar policy would be a disservice to you, our readers. For instance, we do not have the financial resources to purchase all of the products and services that you may want to hear about. More importantly, there are many entrepreneurs working on exciting new projects. It is easier for them to find us than it is for us to find them!

How will I know if a post relates to a free sample?

Whenever we receive a free sample in exchange for a commitment to publish a review, we will include the following text at the bottom of the post:

The product/service reviewed in this post was a free sample/trial. We received this free sample/trial in exchange for our commitment to publish a review, but we made no promises about the content of the review. Therefore, all opinions in this post, whether negative, positive, or neutral, are our own.

If a post that discusses a product or service does not contain this disclosure, ASD Mama has either paid for the product/service as a typical customer or come into the knowledge about the product/service in the ordinary course of our everyday lives and research for this site.
