There are plenty of "Best Blogs" lists in the Autism Community. In looking at them, a lot of them are mostly the same: not much diversity, and not much different than the year before. We have decided to create a list of our own that shows the diversity of Voices among the Autism spectrum. Here was the criteria used: ~The blog must be active (honorable mention was given to great blogs that have not posted withing the last quarter.) ~Although there can be other items on the website, there must be a blog that speak on their experiences along the Autism Journey . What makes our list different? Well, because our perspective also includes knowledge of diverse and/or lesser known voices, our list will point out many sites that may or may not have seen on the more popular sites. Here we go (in no particular order): Autism Wonderland http://www.autismwonderland.com
