My new webpage on ASDs

Post Reply New Topic

I am getting a personal web site as a part of a package for being a part of a club at school I am going to join, and I want this page to be dedicated to educating people about ASDs and people with them and how we are, and so on. Anyways, I am looking for suggestions of what exactly I should put on the page, and I will be doing a small about me section. If anyone has any ideas, or wants to help by sending me information, please post here. If you want to send me some information to publish on my site, pm me for my email and email it to me. because of the nature of the site, it will probably get a large number of hits from google, especially considering the group that owns the webspace is my university.

Do some sort of thing against the autism screening, maybe put a petition on it.

It might depend on what side of AS you want to illustrate.

The unimpaired or the impaired - and everything in-between. You could try both, asking very different people to contribute their personal experience about their kind of AS, if you want a specific but multifaceted description of what AS can all look like. It would not to much enforce the all too gross idiotic stereotypes about 'hf' or 'lf' AS if people get the chance to read the accounts of 'that kind of people'.

Depending on how non-medical or medical you want it to be, remember that the DSM-IV-TR isn't that important in some Western countries. That they use the ICD-10 for diagnosis (which often results/resulted in a bit of a different understanding of Asperger's).
And of course, there are some other types of criteria all around the world, in and outside of the US. Especially the Gillberg's is somewhat bit popular.

I would also like to make a book at some point titled "The Misadventures of Autistic Life" which would be real life stories about people with ASDs and how they have experienced the world, but just like short 2 - 10 page stories. I would love to see such a book titled, just to show that life on the spectrum isn't all bad, plus I could potentially get Oprah to endorse a book on such a topic just because that's her thing.

Well, I don't have any information, but I might be willing to contribute some effort. I've recently started working in Flash 5 (yeah, the older version) for my company and would be willing to put together something if you wanted.
