Blog Review: Life With Aspergers

I found this blog with a Google search, and I think it is amazing. It is a blog maintained by someone with Asperger's Syndrome (Gavin Bollard). The blog was started in 2007, and is still updated.

It is located at http://life-with-aspergers.blogspot.com/




I think it is amazing because it provides information geared toward parents, and also to those who actually have Aspergers. The blog posts are long, but that isn't a bad thing. I like the long posts, it helps me to get a better idea of what the content is 'saying'.

The blog is presented mostly from a neutral point of view. I think that is good, because it is good information, and is also unbiased. It is formatted quite readably too, with the posts split up into sections with bold headings. There are many posts, and they are all rich with information.

There are some groups of posts that are all about one specific topic related to Aspergers. Such as "Aspergers versus Autism - The Great Label Debate", which is a 3 part piece about Aspergers and Autism being merged in 2013 (The DMS V).

The content on the blog are things like book reviews, guides, and opinions. All of them are unique in some way, and the information can't be found easily on the internet all in one piece. I think that every teacher should read at least some of this blog.

Anyway, just wanted to express my thoughts about this blog. That is the end of this post.
