Opinions

When considering what I may have to offer to the blogging community that discusses autism and Neurodiversity, I first had to consider what areas are already covered. The truth is, just about all of them.
Not Mercury takes a scientific approach to the issues, with a strong measure of humanism thrown in. Ditto for Dad of Cameron. Autism Diva keeps a close eye on the MIND Institute and expounds on all things affecting the welfare of autistics around the world. Bartholomew Cubbins is the maker of the best anti-quackery videos to be found anywhere. Joel gives us the autistic perspective on ethics and morals. Prometheus exposes the flaws in logic that lead all of us down the path of false conclusions, while shedding a very bright luminescence on the flawed arguments of the Mercury Militia. Club 166 ruminates on family life, while Estee continually reminds us of how wonderful it is. MOM-NOS makes me want to hug Bud, though I haven't even met the little guy. Amanda, through her blog and videos, has given more mileage to autism awareness than ASA has accomplished in years. And Kathleen, oh gosh, remind me never to get on your bad side. Also, please remind me to never enter into a logic debate with Interverbal, as I will most certainly lose (he is probably critically analyzing my last statement, even though it compliments him). Let me not forget Kev, that pot of gold at the end of the Google rainbow, who is the most commonly used launch pad for autism acceptance the world has ever known - literally.
I know there are many of you who I have not included on this list, and no offense is intended by the ommission.
I would strongly encourage any visitor here who has not reviewed the aforementioned blogs and any others that are included in the Autism Hub to do so.

The question remains - what can I offer? Hence the name of my blog - One Dad's Opinion. Since I am seemingly unable to keep up to pace with the science, I am left with ... opinion. Since I am neurotypical and cannot accurately speak to the autistic perspective, anything I offer there is ... opinion. But I AM a Dad, and therefore I can speak about fatherhood utilizing ... well ... opinion. So there you have it. If you are interested in this Dad's opinions, you've come to the right place.
