We’ve had a spate of new bloggers and
advocates gracing social media sites of
late. These are usually outspoken young
adults who are finding their voices in a
brave new word.
I for one have to comment that I’m proud
of us. Yes I am proud. Proud that we can
discuss taboo subjects in a mature way,
and express an opinion on things that
were once swept under the carpet.
As Always I would like to thank our
regular writers for their contribution to
this month’s magazine. We are always
looking for new bloggers to take part in
and expand our team. If you think that
you would like to be part of ASDigest,
pl3ease do not hesitate to get in touch
with me. I’m at [email protected].
I’m talking mostly about the subjects like
autism equality, care and housing, labels,
gender and sex. Subjects that we should
not have to hide away and make a strong
taboo.
Many Aspies like myself have strong vires
on current affairs, news, religion,
relationships, and there is very little space
for anything we deem “grey”. With age I
have learned to listen to the opinions of
others with respect, and to accept that
my way of thinking isn’t always right. But
If I didn’t have an opinion at all then what
use would I or anyone else for that matter
be?
I’ll see you again next month!
This month marks a departure in how we
report the news and entertainment in recap.
While we continue to summarize for you all
the latest research, we are only reporting
news and stories that we believe to be of
interest to youth and adults who are on the
spectrum.
Social networking has opened up all sorts
of communications and whilst we are all
aware of the darker side – we should
embrace it for the variety of debates now
open to the eye of a general public.
