"Dude, I'm An Aspie" Named to Babble's Top 30 Autism Blogs for 2013

Babble has announced their Top 30 Autism Spectrum Blogs of 2013, continuing their annual Autism Awareness Month tradition. I'm honored to be selected for a third consecutive year!

Babble.com is the revolutionary site for a new generation of parents. The Top 30 Autism Blogs recognizes a range of viewpoints from self-advocates, parents with autism who have kids with autism, and non-autistic parents. Please check out the list to see which of your other favorites made it, discover some great new blogs to follow, and suggest nominations for next year.

I'm grateful and proud to be named to the autism blogging "all star team," as it were. It's thanks to all of you who enjoy what I do. Really, many of my posts are simply me messing around, throwing together some doodles. Yet I continue to hear from those of you who have found yourself, or your child, in the cartoons, or turn here for a dose of truth about autism. For that, I'm truly appreciative.

Thank you! And thanks to Babble for all you do for autism awareness.

Babble's 2012 Autism Spectrum Blogs

Dude, I'm An Aspie has been named to Babble's Top Autism Blogs for the second straight year. What an honor! Thank you!

The 2012 honorees were selected for being invaluable resources to families and individuals who might otherwise feel confused and alone when looking for information about autism. It's an excellent list, full of blogs I have turned to myself.

Dude, says Babble, is "a terrific resource for anyone curious about the experiences of a thirty-something with Asperger’s. But the highlights are his cartoons, simple yet effective, which convey the essence of Asperger’s in a more engaging way than a scientific book ever could...This blog is a must-read for anyone remotely connecting to the world of Asperger’s."

This is a compliment indeed. I am grateful to all of you who have been touched by what I do, and to Babble for sharing it with their readers as part of Autism Acceptance Month.

...and if that wasn't cool enough, I'm featured today on the Thinking Person's Guide to Autism's monthlong "Slice of Life" conversation series. Check it out, dudes!

I've Been Babbled Upon!

It's an honor to be included in Babble's Top 25 Autism Spectrum Blogs for 2011. I'm among great company, and there are so many others they could have chosen. Please check out the full list. There are many blogs I already follow, and others I'm just now discovering.

If you want to not only be autism-aware, but autism-accepting and autism-understanding, look no further than these lists. Listen to us - we tell it like it is.

Big thanks to Babble for including me - especially for calling me a "young person" on the spectrum (!) - and for this outstanding awareness campaign.
