Blogging for autism awareness? Join us.
I have been thinking a lot about posting during April for Autism Awareness Month. There are so many different aspects of the disorder to consider, from early signs to therapies and treatments, plus all the family and societal issues you deal with, and the thought of trying to convey all of that to the world is pretty overwhelming (not unlike how I felt after getting the diagnosis).
When I am confronted with a problem, my first instinct is to start reading about it – online, in books, through message boards, anywhere and everywhere I can. I am (overly?) detail-oriented, however, and could not even begin to share the information I have gained in a succinct manner. So, inspired by Martie at Hitting the High Notes‘ idea of posting a daily tip about autism, I am going to post each day about the best resources I have found in a particular area of interest.
In between, I will still post about my regular topics and possibly some thoughts about autism, but I am not going to try to become the source of all knowledge for things autistic! In fact, I am hoping to learn a lot from the other Bloggers for Autism Awareness over the next few weeks.
