The challenge today is to name my favorite blog by an autistic person. I don't follow long-form blogs much but I do watch @neurorebel on Twitter and follow her community on Facebook.
I like hearing what actually autistic people have to say. Some of them
are non-verbal or have great difficulty speaking, but their words and
frustrations flow on this page and others. I also follow:
- Autistic Allies on Facebook. To follow this, you have to make sure you don't break certain rules, and all posts have to be approved by a moderator.
- Supporty McGroupFace - a site meant more for autisics to support one another. Again, you need permission to join and have to follow the rules of a pinned post - or else!
- Carly Fleishmann - a nonverbal autistic woman who does interviews of celebrities using an iPad - they are hilarious. She's also an incurable flirt.
- Emily Brooks on Twitter - I have seen her a few times at the UN conferences on Autism Awareness Day. She is a very good speaker.
- The Autistic Beekeeper - because I also keep bees, someone pointed this out to me. I have not seen any posts in a year, however.
What blogs or news sources do you follow?
