I like this idea a lot better than the idea of the first line of the first post of every month or something (like I did in my last post). So, instead, if anyone wants to post links to their favorite blog post they made every month (I suppose this mainly applies to people who blog more than once a month), that sounds like a much more interesting thing for a blog’s readers (and much more interesting to go back and do). Some of these were fairly close, and they’re favorites for different reasons than each other.

I am not autistic, but I am interested in autism. I find many conflicting opinions in print and on the internet. To be honest, I find all of the information and different perspectives to be overwhelming.
I wanted to let you know that I have learned so much from you. I have only been following your blog for a short while- a few months- but your entries constantly provoke me into thinking about things and challenging assumptions that I otherwise wouldn’t. Thank you.
Whenever people tell me that I can’t be on the autistic spectrum because of the fact I can type (these are just people on the internet who don’t hear me talk) I tell me to go and look at this blog so their assumptions can be re-considered. It’s proving invaluable to myself as well, I can’t identify with everything but there is a fair amount that I can identify with and it’s helping me understand a lot about myself and, hopefully, a lot about my older son as well.
Personally, I found it (“hatingautism”) rather dull. I much prefer this (“ballastexistenz”) blog, because it’s so diverse and has lots of interesting articles.
I just blogged on this one.

Wil Wheaton did something similar to this. I think you and he had the right idea! This is a much nicer meme than the “first sentence of the first post of the month” thing.
(I’ve seen entirely too many of the lamer meme, and you and he are the only ones I’ve seen do a “best post” thing, which is more useful. The lame meme is at best entertaining, and so many of the ones I’ve seen were not even that.)
Oh, and I very much agree with you on your selection for May. That’s one of my favorite posts!
John Best’s subtle diversionary tactic to direct traffic away from this autism-friendly website into his own cesspool of hatred and anti-neurodiversity propaganda disgusts me.
Hmmm, I’m not so sure about John Best. He seems to be trying just a little bit too hard to convince people of his convictions. He’s coming across as being like a child demanding attention. He wants people who are against a cure for autism to go to his site and feel enraged. So he puts out this impression of being very fixated and obsessive about curing autism, unable to see other people’s points of view and well, he’s trying just a little too hard.
Which makes me realise that this site (“hating autism”) is just an act. A very good example of reverse psychology. We’re supposed to read it thinking “so this is the sort of hate filled person that wants to see autism cured, that’s it, my resolve has been strengthened, I am more than ever determined to be happy with who I am”.
Very subtle and very clever.
