I was saddened to see that the Autism Hub went on "indefinite hiatus" today. Apparently the people who run it are burned out (and I don't blame them), but I do hope someone can take over for them. The Hub is such a useful resource--I don't know how many times I've referred people to it. There's just something irreplaceable about a site where you can get links to blogs where people talk about what autism is actually like, as well as science, news, advocacy, etc.

I don't know why they closed; it's probably one of those interpersonal things i never pick up on. I do, however, hope there's some way to pick up where they left off.

Can I suggest AspieTribe.com could replace the autism hub?

Is that the same site? It looks like a slightly different list of blogs. i'm quite certain, for one, that the old site would never have included the autism speaks blog.

Yes, that's a completely different site with no connection to the Autism Hub.

It seems to mirror some of it?

Does anyone have a list of the original RSS feeds?
