Highly recommend the Acquired podcast and their Costco episode if people want to dive deeper into the history of this company.

Thanks for the feedback.

On your questions. I'm doing this solo. I'm on a Vercel paid plan, so costs are reasonable (for now) but I've really only shown this to family and friends at this point, so the userbase is tiny.

I have a few family members and friends who are healthcare providers (including those with MD attached to their name) who have provided a lot of guidance. Our friend and family network also includes several with kids and adults on the spectrum, and we have sought out their advice/feedback. But as you surmised, I did rely on AI, specifically for generating all of the media (images/video clips) to fit various scenarios.

On whether the exercises are helpful -- that's exactly the type of data I would love to get, but the site is quite new. If you have ideas on how I can determine that I'd welcome it.

This was definitely a challenge until I figured out how it works. I originally was confused by the connections and started off embarrassingly slow, but once I got a few words and letters started to disappear, I was able to power through it pretty quickly. A solid game. Suggest adding a timed option so users can brag/compare/share their time.
