Portland, Maine — Many parents and caregivers of children with autism feel isolated and alone. It certainly doesn’t have to be that way. There are some outstanding blogs out there that document the struggles and joys of life with Autism.

There’s also no shortage of blogs on the topic. Many parents who have gone through the experience of being told their child has autism are eager to share experiences and lend guidance. These blogs allow those people most interested in autism to follow the journey and experience of those who are living it. Blogs range from childhood experiences, to fears of independent living and fears regarding what happens when these children become adults and lose the guardians responsible for their health and safety.

Here are several autism blogs worth visiting:
