Blogs I Love!
These are some of my favorite autism parents, mommy bloggers and general funny people who share their stories with the rest of us...
Wanna share a link with me? Shoot me an email at AmandaBroadfoot@gmail.com if you're an autism parent, mommy blogger or a hysterically funny writer who will make each of my days a little more worthwhile.
36x37
Created by a really good writer named Maura who has given herself 365 days to do 36 things she's never done. She blogs about her journeys and occasionally features writers she likes. I was honored when she chose one of my posts about Billy to use on her site.
My Life as an Ungraceful, Unhinged, and Unwilling Draftee into the Autism Army
If this hilarious mother of an autistic six-year-old girl weren't so busy living her life and raising her child, I would insist she pursue a job as a comedy writer (because what she really needs/wants is advice from ME). She never fails to see the funny side, share the joy and make me laugh till I fall out of my chair.
Big Daddy Autism
This dude makes me laugh every day. His son, Griffin, is autistic, and his wonderful, joyful family and his hilarious take on it all are living proof that love and laughter are the best medicine for all of us.
Lemon Drop Pie
Ginny Marie is a mom to two beautiful daughters, a great and creative writer ... and also a breast cancer survivor. Her blog, "Lemon Drop Pie," serves to inspire, inform and enlighten her readers about both the sweet and sour elements of a full, happy life.
The Motherhood Umbrella
The mom of a beautiful daughter with early onset bipolar disorder -- as well as two gorgeous guys -- Mommylebron describes herself as "a Southern belle with Northern attitude that I hide behind my laid back Florida persona." She's also an insightful and honest writer.
Little Bit Quirky
Cheryl has a beautiful daughter who happens to have Asperger's, and she aims her blog at highly functioning autistic/Aspie kids. She includes everything from heartwarming/hilarious stories about family life to solid information on stuff like food allergies. Bookmark it!
I'm Just That Way and That's Just Me
Sassy, smart and way too often snort-coffee-through-my-nose-funny, Dani G's blog posts about her life with Little Bird, her beautiful autistic daughter, will move your heart and tickle your funny bone.
Adventures in Extreme Parenthood
If there were an Obi Wan to all us special needs parent bloggers out there, Sunday Stilwell would be it. Mom to two high-energy autistic boys, she still manages to be energetic herself, as well as joyful, funny, and a clear, articulate voice for the rights of autistic people, and their loved ones, everywhere.
Both Hands and a Flashlight
Two parents, one autistic toddler, a new baby, half a clue, and just enough light to see by.
