In So Many Words

Besides catching up on dishes and laundry and dental work and doctor’s appointments and little things like updating Michael’s behavior plan and adding a safe crisis plan to the IEP (more on those topics later), I have had some time over the past month to think about where I want to go with this blog.

I have loved blogging since the moment I started over two years ago, but I have also put a lot of unnecessary stress on myself trying to reconcile my analytical side that wants to write only helpful, informative posts about things like advocacy and therapies and resources with my more stream-of-consciousness side that wants to talk about whatever is on my mind at a given point in time, good or bad.

At one point, I actually did set up a separate blog called Autism Interrupted, where I would go to ramble if I felt too depressed or frustrated to write something coherent and positive for this blog. After thinking it through, I think what I really need to do is separate the two blogs by purpose rather than by how I am feeling. (Yeah, sometimes it takes me a while to figure out the obvious! )

Okay, so all that is to say that I have decided to continue both blogs, but with a much clearer vision for what they will represent. I even wrote a new tagline and short description to clarify my purpose here:

Another Piece of the Puzzle

Awareness, Resources and Hope for Autism Spectrum Disorder

Another Piece of the Puzzle is a blog designed to raise awareness of the challenges facing parents and children dealing with autism and to serve as a resource for anyone affected by the disorder. Through this site, it is my desire to offer information on topics such as IEPs and advocacy, behavioral and sensory strategies and a variety of therapies and treatments related to autism spectrum disorder. Above all, I want to let you know there is hope for a better tomorrow!

While there may be occasions where I cross post and include personal stuff here that relates specifically to autism, in general I am going to post about my own journey at Autism Interrupted. So for more on what’s going on with me personally, feel free to pop on over!
