Urgent! Autism/AS blogs, links needed

Post Reply New Topic

This afternoon, less than a day before the deadline for submitting the first draft for my term paper, I found out what I should write about. Unfortunately, the kind of blogs I was looking for suddenly seemed impossible to find... I have googled and searched the forum here.

What I need to find is examples of pedantic, hypercorrect or formal language used to add emphasis to sarcasm etc, and the same kind of language used together with topics/words that can be seen as provocative and so on. (I intend to call the essay Autistic writing: breaking norms with hypercorrect language. It's supposed to be a linguistic survey (English)).

Of course, I will keep searching on my own, but I would really appreciate help with finding sources (mainly blogs, but if you have seen a post where I could find such examples here, I can certainly use that too).

Just to give an example of the kind of texts I'm looking for, I tried to add a link to my own blog, but I haven't posted enough to be allowed to do that. If you're interested, it's called "Theories of my mind" (blogspot).

I don't have links but go to livejournal.com and search for autism asperger's. there are lots of bloggers there.

I second Livejournal.com - best to join then look through the public and member-only posts over on the Asperger's community http://asperger.livejournal.com

Got the link to mine in my sig. Interesting topic; good luck on the paper.

Autism Hub:
http://www.autism-hub.co.uk/

About half the bloggers there are autistic; the other half are families of autistics.

Thanks, everyone! I should find something there, and I'll read your blog too, Callista.

I'm also creating an online survey, which I guess I can't post here either, but I will probably put a link to it on my blog (which I will link to in my signature as soon as this is posted).

Good luck with your term paper, my blog is at the bottom of this post!

Thanks, everyone! I've found several enjoyable blogs, but I can't find anything that proves my point although I know that the phenomenon exists.

I'm dropping out.

I actually wrote a very sarcastic post using hyper correct language but it was so offensive I deleted it.

My blog is at http://latedx.wordpress.com

I also have some articles at www.autismhwy.com but I can't find one in particular where I prattle on.
