As some readers know I am very interested in the whole autism blogging community thing.

This I suppose is because a) I run a blog and b) because I have a son with autism.

One of the things that I have noticed over the past few years is that active blogs have become fewer and fewer. Indeed many people have moved over to Twitter.

However I remain undeterred in my ambition to see an thriving ASD blogging community once again.

To this end I am sharing a few blogs written by people who support the autism community. So her goes.

I rather liked the “Miss, Hey Miss“ blog. Miss is a second year special needs teacher from Texas and her blog is choca full of practical stuff for the classroom. (Why are female teachers called Miss? I thought it was just a British thing as well. Answers in the comments box please!)

Teaching Learners with Multiple Special Needs is not specifically for autism. Kate covers a whole bunch of other stuff as well. She describes the blog as “resources and ideas for teachers of learners with severe, profound, intensive, significant, complex or multiple special needs.”

Also have a look at “Eat. Pray. Teach“ which is more the journal of the journey of a special needs teacher in America.

The Autism Adventures of Room 83 is also a great source of useful materials. Melissa who runs it is also a big fan of Pinterest! Check her out here.

Chapel Hill Snippets is run by a speech pathologist rather than a teacher. And is a mine of good stuff. Wish I’d come across it earlier!

Obviously there are more blogs out there. I’d be really grateful if you would share them in the comments box below.

Thanks in advance!
