Does anyone else have a blog?

I have one. Barefoot Amongst Birch Trees

I use it to talk about Autism Awareness, neurodiversity, etc. To untangle things for myself. It's very helpful. Does anyone else have one?

I'm hoping some NTs will read my blog and come away with something to think about. I'm posting it in this forum because it has to do with Autism, and I love reading blogs to the point of obsession, and am wondering if anyone else has one to share. :)

We could create a list of Autism blogs. The only other one I really watch right now is Ballastexistenz. I used to watch some other ones, but I lost the links. Anyone have any they recommend?

Thanks Wow... I just checked out those two blogs. They're interesting and I'm subscribing to them now. Dunno why they don't have subscription links but luckily google reader can figure them out.

I've got several because I split my subjects up into; Personal, Technical, Free Stuff, Aspergers

It's obviously the last one that gets most of the hits.

BTW: There's a very large list, possibly a little outdated, of Aspie blogs on this post.

I've got a blog, only it's more geared towards nature photography and tends to attract readers who are either bird watchers, waterfall wanderers, horseback riding adventurers, and overall outdoor types or simply those who photograph nature in their own backyard.

Am not entirely sure whether to list my blog here or whether you're looking just for autism-related blogs.

Would also prefer to list my blog, if there'd be any interest, in a couple days ... after I process my latest photos taken just today which remind me very much of springtime in Middle Earth, which methinks will be a better blog entry than some I've done recently (although the blog entry where I admit to being the Queen of Narnia was pretty fun).

Anyways, I'll definitely be checking out your blogs! :)

I skimmed through your blog, and it looks really well put together. I added you to my follow list. I hope that's okay.

I also have a blog. It's just to jot down my thoughts I've had for a day, or link to a website I visited, or I just plug a band I like. I do sometimes write somewhat meaningful stuff sometimes. Make a visit :)

I have a blog. it is HERE. It has no Aspergery things on it yet; it only has three posts. But I will build it and maybe put ASD-related stuff on it. It's some of my creative output, rather than my thoughts about things.

I have a blog but I cleaned out most of the posts just recently because it was turning into another meaningless flood of introverted garbage.

As a secluded aspie I don't know what to write about which wouldn't risk becoming some sort of basement-dwelling manchild diary, giving off a wrong impression.

Personally I'm not sure where I stand when it comes to meeting people over the internet and using blogs to make contact and promote yourself. I'm also of the belief one must see me to fully understand who and what I'm all about. A blog is the wrong medium for me.

I have one at Myspace and some of them are set to private so only I can read them because I don't want the public to see. I've done one or two blogs here under my other account.

What would have happened if some of our great artists had thought like that? You don't need to censor your own work - I guess it's fine if you take it offline but you should still keep it because in ten years time, you might read it and feel different about it. Its funny how many of my early creations I destroyed either because I didn't feel that they were good enough or because they failed to satisfy other people. Now I wish I hadn't.
