Top 25 Autism Spectrum Blogs
The web has become a critical part of life for those impacted by autism, including many, many parents. It's not only an invaluable tool for quickly distributing information, but it's also an incredible source of community for those raising kids on the spectrum. Blogs, in particular, have provided those coping with autism a way to share their individual experiences and see that they are far from alone in their challenges and their triumphs. Read More ↓
There are hundreds and hundreds (if not thousands!) of great autism spectrum blogs out there, representing a wide diversity of perspectives, but together they demonstrate one thing: a commitment to bringing ASD issues out into the open, making it less and less possible to ignore families who live with them every day.
Choosing just 25 blogs to highlight here was no small feat; those selected are Autism Speaks staff favorites, but this is by no means an exhaustive list. We easily could have doubled or tripled the number here with the addition of many other beloved voices we return to again and again. If there are others you would add, we hope you'll share them with us. In the meantime, thank you for joining us and Babble in celebrating those listed here.

Adventures in Extreme Parenthood | Sunday Stilwell
Sunday began her blog in 2008 as a newly separated woman navigating a divorce, working full time, and raising two young boys on the severe end of the autism spectrum. It’s no wonder that her blog’s main icon features a frazzled, wide-eyed, open-mouthed mama. Through it all this admirable woman has managed to keep her sense of humor and composure, and we enjoy reading her just as much now that she’s a newly wed, stay-at-home mom, trying to keep her head “above water in the sea of IEPs (Individualized Education Programs), school schedules, doctor appointments, and playdates.”

I am so proud of Cody my son since you gals have been working with him and I want eroyvene to know it too. I have always loved horses since I was a child and I wanted Cody to experience it too and he loves it as much as I do. His speech has greatly improved better than when he was in speech therapy and he has alot of fun. His self confidence has also improved as well. He speaks in complete sentences now that I can understand making our communication as well as our relationship all that more rewarding and I have Laurie Roberts and Bambi Spahr to thank for that. Keep up the good work gals. God bless, Cyndi
