On Blogging
“If you’re one of these people considering giving up on blogging in exchange for paying more attention to Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and MySpace, or whatever else they throw at us mere mortals, bear in mind you are giving up on something rather unique and wonderful.” —Hugh Macleod
The Teen Autism site description on Technorati says, “Life with an autistic teen and his younger brother . . . a parenting blog with an autism twist,” and that’s it in a nutshell. I write a lot about autism and my life with with my two boys. But what I haven’t written about here is my life as a blogger. And so when Corrie at Just Because My Pickle Talks approached me for an interview/guest post about my blogging experience, I happily obliged. That’s right – a hybrid interview/guest post! Corrie asked some great questions, and I wrote a post around them. Want to know how Teen Autism got started, what my future plans are for it, and how I incorporate blogging into my life? Please click here to read the answers to these and other intriguing questions!

I’m so glad you did start blogging Tanya. You give me a lot of strength as another mom of an autistic teen. Thanks for your devotion to helping me through your words and experiences.

Blogging helps us realise that we are not alone on our crusade.
It’s a wonderful way of sharing our joys, laughs and pains, at the same time helping each other.
Thank you for sharing Tanya.

Add me to the long list of folks who are really glad you’re writing.
It’s so helpful to begin to imagine what things might (or might not) look like in years to come. To consider some of the hurdles that may come in the future. And to find so much hope – this is the best part – so much hope for down the road.
Thanks so much for writing. And to Nigel for his willingness to share his stories with others. It makes a big difference.

I’m glad you are here too! And that you come to my site and comment
I love the similarities with our boys! I am sort of an accidental blogger. I started mine by writing what we did on the weekends for the school, so the speech therapist and social worker could read it, then be able to ask leading questions to pull Daniel into a conversation as use it as a tool.. Who knew?

Fantastic guest post! It actually serves as a primer on how to start, maintain and network the world of blogging. I’m still blown away that you’re currently reading 72 blogs. You amaze me and inspire me with your dedication, Tanya!
