outoftheazul.wordpress.com — Out Of The Blue is the blog of a junior ABA therapist/tutor who is passionate about autism and always looking to learn more. Check it out! About Blue During the summer between my sophomore and junior years of high school, I was lucky enough to meet my first person with autism, an amazing boy who I was fortunate enough to be a camp counselor for. After spending two weeks with him, I was hooked, and I have spent my time ever since pursuing ways to work with more people like him. Since then, I’ve volunteered and worked at an autism-focused NPS, an amazing social skills summer camp for kids with Asperger’s and Non-Verbal Learning Disabilities, a self-contained elementary school SPED class, and am now currently working as a junior behavior therapist doing early intervention ABA therapy with kids on the spectrum. When I’m not hanging out with the awesome kids I work with, I enjoy playing the celtic harp, reading, and playing with my insane cat, Toby. What This Blog Is (And Isn’t) This blog is a place for me to explore thoughts I have about autism, including reactions I have to books and news articles I encounter. I will sometimes discuss thoughts that have come to me as a result of my work as a junior ABA therapist, while maintaining strict confidentiality for the amazing kids I work with. This blog is not meant to provide any professional advice or to serve as any sort of therapeutic guideline. Everything written in this blog is simply the opinion of the author, and is meant to be thought-provoking, not instructive towards a specific course of action. If you are looking for help or recommendations for someone you know with autism, please contact a professional in your area. I would be happy to try to help you find someone to contact, if you need help, but I am not qualified to give any professional advice. The thoughts expressed in this blog are mine and mine alone. They do not represent the thoughts of my employer, my clients, or any other individual besides myself, unless specifically noted.

adventuresinaspergers.com — Thomas is a 28-year-old father of three boys, the oldest of whom, Jayden, has Asperger's. This dad blogger admits to being a bit "odd and irreverent" in his posts, but his unique and honest sense of humor — and reluctance to sweat the finer points of punctuation — is refreshing. He writes about Autism Day: "Every once in a while its okay to just let everyone else be aware or a crusader or whatever for a day & you just pour yourself a bit of coconut rum in with your OJ on a Sunday morning & roll with the day as best you can." As a professional photographer (that’s in addition to his full-time gig as an EMT), Thomas fills his blog with beautiful photos of his family that make their story burst with life. He writes of one close-up he recently took of Jayden, “This picture is a picture of aspergers, this picture is a picture of autism, this picture is my son Jayden.”

extremeparenthood.com — My name is Sunday Stilwell and I am the frazzled mom behind the screaming banshee mask. Adventures in Extreme Parenthood is where I tell my tales of raising 2 boys on the severe end of the autism spectrum while attempting to laugh and blog about it. I began blogging in the winter of 2008 as a way of coping with life as a newly separated woman, navigating a divorce, working full time, and my boys' school and therapy schedules. By the grace of God I made it through that first year unscathed and have rounded the corner of 2010 as a newlywed, stay-at-home mom, still trying to keep my head above water in the sea of IEPs, school schedules, doctor appointments, and playdates. I'm glad you're here and I hope you'll stick around awhile and learn a bit more about me, my boys, and our crazy life. Twitter is one of the ways I love keeping in contact with new and interesting people.  You can find me over there by following @xtremeparnthood.  If Facebook is more your thing I have that covered too!  You can find the banshee by searching for me by my name, Sunday Stilwell. Lets get the conversation started!

minikitkatgirl.blogspot.com —  Amy's Tiny Corner of Existence The life and times of a writer, public speaker, certified college coach, advocate, and woman with Asperger's Syndrome. Come inside my world and see what life is like from behind my eyes. About Amy When I was younger, my inexplicably large head kept me from ever wearing a hat. Now, I wear many of them. Writer, public speaker, autism advocate, certified college coach for individuals with Asperger's syndrome, and graduate student are all who I am, a myriad of identities converging into one petite, 27-year-old body. Currently I am writing The Naughty Autie, a dating and sexuality nonfiction book for people with autism and Asperger's syndrome. I'm also in my final year of graduate school at Caldwell College, where I'm working to earn my Masters degree in Applied Behavior Analysis. My great hope and desire is to pursue a career as an Asperger's syndrome college coach and public speaker.

aspiefrommaine.blogspot.com — What's it really like to be a 20 something with Asperger's? On this blog, I hope to explore that question. But this blog is not just limited to an audience of people in their 20s - this is for anyone who ever wanted to know anything about autism. I plan to delve into the nature and experience of autism, and examine it from as many angles as possible. I would like to start a conversation between people with Asperger's or autism, parents of kids with autism spectrum disorders, and anyone who just wants to know more. Let's explore what autism means, together.

jessesaperstein.com —  I was born on April 2, 1982 in Poughkeepsie, NY during a freak, early spring snowstorm.  My parents are Lewis and Janis Saperstein.  I also have one sister, named Dena who is 2 1/2 years younger and was born on Halloween of all days.  My first two years of development were “normal” and I hit all my intellectual milestones earlier than most children.  I knew the entire alphabet, my shapes, and even numbers at eighteen months old.  At age three, my preschool teachers started noticing some abnormalities in my social development when I was incapable of making eye contact and would flap my hands for no apparent reason.  My mother and father took me to several professionals until a prominent neurologist from Columbia University diagnosed me with hyperlexia and static encephalopathy.  Children with hyperlexia learn academic skills at an unusually-early age, but have poor social skills.  Static encephalopathy is a form of brain damage and explained my frequent hand-flapping.  While these diagnoses may have been real, they failed to point toward the main issue. Inappropriate behavior and class clowning was a constant throughout my childhood especially during periods of transition.  It made it easier for my peers and teachers to judge my problems as a character flaw, which was exacerbated by the fact that Asperger’s syndrome was not even recognized as an American disability until 1994.  I was also a target for near-constant bullying because being “extremely weird” was not considered to be a legitimate disability!  My transition into ninth grade was particularly traumatic and warranted a return to my arch-nemesis—the psychiatrist’s office!  But this particular psychiatrist had the progressive wisdom to diagnose me with Asperger’s syndrome in 1996 when I was fourteen years old.  There was a surge of relief to know my lifetime of issues were associated with a neurological disability and not a character flaw. I was fortunate enough to attend Hobart and William Smith Colleges from 2000 - 2004 where there was just enough support and tolerance to keep me going.  It made a difference to get involved in extra-curricular activities that gave me the chance to show people the side of autism responsible for outstanding friends, family members, co-workers, students, and even romantic partners. During my senior year, I became passionately involved in HIV/AIDS activism after reluctantly accepting a residential advisor position in the AIDS Awareness House.  After my turbulent college years ended, I made the decision to take a break from higher education to hike the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine.  My hike started on March 9, 2005 and ended on October 18, 2005.  By that time, over nineteen thousand dollars had been raised for Camp Teens Living a Challenge (TLC) in Port Jervis, NY.  Camp TLC is a free summer camp for kids ages 13-19 living with HIV/AIDS.  I maintained an online journal and photo gallery about my experiences, but was not public about my case of high-functioning autism.  I did not trust the public to embrace my honesty, which will always be one of my biggest regrets.  The web site (www.hikeforaids.org) is still accessible on the Internet. My life after the Appalachian Trail was a stark contrast to the celebrity-like attention during those seven months.  I learned what it would be like to be an adult on the autism spectrum and became immersed in the chronic failures and misunderstandings within society.  From February 2006 to January 2010, I created this humorous book to show the mainstream public a side of autism that is responsible for hope and social contributions to society.  The book has its title because I am atypical compared to my neurotypical (a.k.a. non-autistic) peers.  But my successes with Asperger’s syndrome have been freakishly-atypical when compared to my adult peers.  I am optimistic this will cease to be the case as more works like mine become a catalyst for a profound change in societal consciousness.

austintistic.blogspot.com —  Stories of a Broken Boy Living in an Autistic World "I have 206 bones. More than 25 have broken. My back broke twice. My torso was in a cast for many months, but I am more than skin and bones. My Spirit can not be broken. I had open-heart surgery to fix a large hole and move some veins that were in the wrong place. My true heart will not break. I am autistic. You may know someone like me. I hope so. I live for Joy and Laughter and Love of people. My dad says I am Austintistic. I am not a disease nor a disability." That is the way Austin would describe his journey so far. I am his dad and he deepens my life experience immeasurably- he is part of me. When people meet Austin and allow it to happen, he will profoundly enrich your life. I share Austintistic in hopes that you can meet someone like Austin and understand what this epidemic is all about and you too can touch the world.  Be like Austin- Sweat the small things in life. Embrace them, wrap your arms around them, own them and make them things of joy and faith and love. The Mission - Until The Whole World Hears
