Autistic Writers Wanted!

Not an Autism Mom is looking for autistic writers!

This is a blog geared toward parents and educators.

For the most part, parents look to other parents for advice. The same is true for professionals. I want to help them find autistic voices sooner.

There is no age restriction! Young-old, it doesn’t matter. And you don’t have to be a professional writer, just someone with a story to tell.

What would you like to tell parents?

Here are some sample topics:

• Why parents should presume competence (with a personal story)
• How AAC helps you
• Anything about intersectionality
• A time in your childhood that you didn’t feel heard
• What you wish your parents or teachers did or didn’t do
• What therapies or experiences helped or hurt you the most
• A time you proved your doctors wrong
• A time they thought you weren’t listening
• A story of triumph
• A story of heartache

If you’re interested in writing, please send your article to notanautismmom @ gmail dot com.

Posts should be 500-1000 words. Please include a head shot, short bio, and any social media links. You may also send a feature picture, or I can choose one for you.

You can also send your PayPal link for readers to tip you!

A huge thanks to Christiana MacLeod for making the first collaboration a success! You can find her post here.
