Rachel’s blog, Journeys with Autism, positively shines. And now she has started another (new) blog to dispel the myths about autistic people lacking empathy. You can go there from here. As Rachel says about her new site:
This site exists to undo the myths about autism and empathy that have stigmatized autistic people for so long.
It features writing by autistic individuals, by autism parents and family members, and by others who understand that autistic people, all along the spectrum, can experience the world in highly empathetic and sensitive ways. Telling our stories, describing our experiences, and speaking the truth in our own voices, we can break dehumanizing stereotypes and increase understanding.

Editor and Publisher,
Autism and Empathy: Dispelling Myths and Breaking Stereotypes
Rachel is open to receiving submissions for publication on her new blog.

Hello Sue,
Thanks for letting me know. I’ve been a bit overloaded lately, too much to process, and I’m having trouble keeping up with reading blogs. I’ll hop over there now.
