How Long It's Been Online

Since February 2010

Why I Started

I started writing a blog when I realized that there was life after our son was diagnosed with autism. I can find humor and happiness each day if I just remember to look for it.

How I Do It

I write at least a few posts a week. I have chosen to include personal details about my family, although I try not to include anything that might be too embarrassing. I also try to be disciplined about setting aside a time to write and getting started putting something on paper--even if I do not think I have an idea immediately.

Advice

  • Don't worry too much about what you are writing, just include you own personal experiences.
  • Read lots of other blogs.
  • Feel free to e-mail other bloggers. Most are happy to offer advice if you need it.
