Autism and blogging is, as my regulars will know, a subject close to my heart. Indeed one of the first areas I covered when I started this blog was the disappearance of many Autism bloggers.

So I am very interested in supporting Ekaterina Boytsova, a student at Gothenburg University, who is conducting some research in the area.

Boytsova writes “As a master student in Gothenburg University (Sweden) I am now conducting a research dedicated to autism and blogging and their communication experiences transmitted via posting. It is not much written about narrative practices of people with autism especially in the dimension of Internet. That is why I find it important to convey a message to the scientific community about the necessity and advantages of computer-mediated interaction via blogs and social networks. I believe those who already benefit from it will stand for wider implementation of information and communication technology tools in an educational context as well.

That is why I kindly ask a person with autism keeping his/her blog to take part in my survey which is confidential. However, if you want your blog to be referred to, it is also possible to put your name and the link in the reference list.

If you have any further question on participation or want to see the support letter from the supervisor, please contact me gusboyek@student.gu.se

 

If you have any queries please feel free to mention them in the comments section and I will ask Ms Boytsova to respond.
