Please Read our FAQs:
What is BudEase? BudEase (pronounced buddies) is a friend matchmaking service with the goal of connecting individuals with developmental diagnoses (and their families) together to form lasting friendships and relationships.
How much does BudEase cost? BudEase is a FREE SERVICE. There are no fees associated with participation.
Who can use BudEase? BudEase is for anyone of any age (and their families) who has a developmental diagnosis including but not limited to: Autism Spectrum Disorder; Down Syndrome; Fragile X; Cris du Chat Syndrome; ADHD; CP; etc.
What happens once I submit my information form and disclaimer? Your information will be kept confidential and will be added to our database which stores the participant information used to make the matches.
How are matches made? Matches are made based on individuals' shared interests, relative age, verbal ability, and general geographic location.
Is there a timeframe that I can expect to be matched to someone? Unfortunately not. Matching is based on connecting individuals on the above parameters. It may take time to find the right match as a result and is dependent on the number of appropriate participants in the service as well.
What happens once a match is made? Once a match is made you will be contacted by BudEase to inform you that you have a match. Once both individuals, or their guardians, agree to the match, contact information will be shared so you can set up your first get together.
Does BudEase arrange meetings between matches? Unfortunately not. BudEase cannot serve as an coordinator of meet-ups between matches. Doing so is the responsibility of the individuals or their parents.
Anything else? As previously mentioned, submission of the form to BudEase DOES NOT guarantee a timeframe for getting a match nor that a match is guaranteed.
