Is started this blog over a year ago as a depository for my ramblings. For the longest time, most of the posts had between 3 to 8 hits… It was a low count, but that was fine… the readers weren’t the point.
Then the folks on Wrong Planet (www.wrongplanet.net) started talking about the need for a guide to Autistic Spectrum Disorders from the standpoint of the Autist (Autistic Spectrum Individual)… So I started my “Care and Feeding of Your Aspie” series…
My blog blew up… In just under 4 months, my blog has gone from about 1200 hits to 17,000. That’s 17,000 hits in the last 4 months.
I have received hate mails because of some of my opinions and perceptions… but I’ve also received thank yous from parents, people with Aspie relatives and friends and from Aspies themselves…
But the hate and love isn’t why I started the series… I saw a need, and I filled it… and the fact that some Aspies point their friends and loved ones at my blog to fill the need that I filled has made it worth it…
So, I just wanted to thank you all for reading… I will be producing many more articles on the subject (as well as my ramblings)… but from the bottom of my heart thank you.
I wrote this before it hit 17,000… and have been watching obsessively… I hit the “Publish” button the second it clicked over.
