Special Kids... Special Needs

New Website Launching for Special Needs- KnowDifferent.Net

By Carissa Garabedian October 24, 2014
Well friends, I always tell everyone I  know to follow their passion, so I am taking my  own advice.

When I started Macaroni Kid over 4 years ago, I knew I wanted to have a spot to share all I could on being a parent to a child with Autism. This section grew and was so well received that I need to take it to the next step. I am not leaving Macaroni Kid- this is something I LOVE to do, just adding to my plate!


I will be launching KnowDifferent.Net in October. This website will serve Special Needs families in the Richmond area, offering monthly content from trusted community professionals, a frequently updated calendar of upcoming family-friendly events, along with highlighting local families and much more.

This site will be the go-to resource for families and professionals to use, as well, to share information. 

As the founder of KnowDifferent.net and a Special Needs parent myself, I am committed and passionate about the success of the site and its reach into the lives of affected families in Richmond.

KnowDifferent.net seeks to fill a deep void that currently exists in the online realm.

I am extremely confident that KnowDifferent.net will be successful and make a tremendous difference in the lives of so many families in the Richmond area and beyond. I have a tremendous passion for making sure all kids have access to community resources, no matter their disability. The website will offer things to do, and most importantly help special needs children feel “KnowDifferent.”

If you would like to be a guest parent blogger or have your child be a KnowDifferent star, I would love to hear from you! You can follow us on Facebook too.
