The 2m foundation advances education and science by leveraging the power of converging technologies to build a participatory research organization targeting the need for innovation in the study and treatment of autism spectrum disorders (asd). Through expert and patient-led forums aimed at disruption in treatment and educational methods, a small classroom, and a channel of curated content, 2m initiatives will create a context for change. 2m's primary initiatives will include: *the quantified classroom (qc), designed to measure environmental and physiological variables that may influence a student's capacity to learn. *the compass program for providing support for its fast-growing group of families, clinicians, researchers, software developers, etc. Who face the unanswered questions raised by the troubling increase in the incidence of autism. *stax, 2m's curated content platform, is designed to enable a crowd-sourced push of the new narrative on asd.
