Autism mom and autism dad blogs you would recommend

Post Reply New Topic

I know that on the internet we see our share of blogs from parents of kids with ASD and Autism Speaks seems to feature its share of such parents who many on this forum give those with ASD a bad name and that their influence is by and large negative. At least, with some of these mom/dad autism blogs.

Who hear has mom/dad autism blogs they would recommend? That is, blogs about moms or dads with kids with ASD (I'm still trying to figure out the best label to use and I was not sure if "autistic kids" was an insult or not) that, while not shying away from how rough it is, also make sure to highlight the need for outreach for these ASD kids and highlight what they do contribute to the world and to their lives and make sure to focus on the need to advocate for their basic rights.

I am in the process of looking for these blogs myself and so I wanted to know which blogs Aspies and others with ASD around here would recommend as well, looking for new ones I may not have found yet. Thanks for any help.

You can find lots of autism parenting blogs as the Autism Blogs Directory. I haven't read most of these so I can't tell you if they are any good.

Emma's Hope Book seems pretty good. It has an interesting story about how the author used to support autism speaks.

I've heard vague murmurs of controversy on the TPGA Facebook page. Apparently the mods censored the swearing of an autistic advocate, but allowed the denigration of autism. It still remains a resource I'd recommend for parents of autistics.
