How do you want your blog listed?

Updates are currently paused on the Actually Autistic Blogs List (and might never restart) although comments will continue being moderated. If you want your blog included, please leave your blog’s information in a comment on our Newly-added Autistic blogs page.

You can also submit the form below in case we start updating again, but there is no guarantee we will.

Please respond to the following questions (skip any that don’t apply) if you want to submit a new blog or change your blog’s description on the Actually Autistic Blogs List. All questions (after the first) are optional and you can resubmit an updated form anytime. If you don’t receive an email acknowledgment within a few days, please contact us or resubmit the form with more information content, such as for the last question. (Sometimes nearly-empty forms don’t seem to be transmitted, despite saying “Message Sent”). (Contact us if you want your blog removed.)

Name(required)

Email (will be kept private)(required)

Have you ever changed your blog's URL, or had any other blogs or websites (whether current or defunct)?(required)

No. I've never had other blogs (or websites) or changed my blog's URL.

I've either changed my blog's URL and/or had other blogs or websites (whether current or defunct).

Please list below (by name or URL) any previous blog URL's and/or other blogs or websites of yours (whether current or defunct) if they ever mentioned your autism. (This is so I can check to see if they have been included in the Actually Autistic Blogs List and remove any obsolete entries.)

How old were you when you received your ASD diagnosis (or realized you were probably Autistic)? It’s OK to specify a range, such as '20s', '18+' (for adulthood), 18- (for childhood), or '50+' (above age 50), etc.

Which (if any) of the labels below would you like to have included in your blog’s description? (Male and Woman are included but not Man or Female so that text searches work properly. Autistic Parent is not included since it is redundant; all bloggers on the list identify as Autistic.)

No label Father of Autistic Mother of Autistic Parent of Autistic Father Mother Parent Male Woman Non-binary Other (please describe in one of the text fields below)

Which co-occurring conditions (if any) do you wish to disclose? See our 'About the list/Abbreviations' page (top menu) for examples.

If you want your age included, provide your birth date (month/day/year) below. (This will only be used to update your age annually, does not have to be correct, and will not be publicly viewable.)

Do you want your age indicated only by decade (20s, 30s, etc)?

If you have children, provide below their sex and/or genders, neurological conditions (Autism, suspected Autism, and/or others), and/or any other information you want included. If you want their ages listed (not currently implemented but may be reinstated), provide their birth dates (which will not be publicly viewable).

If you want your relationship status (married, single, divorced, etc.) included, provide it below. Include your partner's neurological condition(s) (Autistic, etc) if you wish.

What (approximate) percentage of your blog posts relate primarily to autism? Do you have a category or tag for your autism-related posts? If so, what is it? (If you have more than one provide the primary one, with the URL if you know it.)

If you want, please state some of your other frequent topics. (These will not be included in your blog's description but might be used in searches.)

What is your geographical location (as general as you like, preferably including country)? Please list in order from general to specific, with a format such as 'UK (England, North Yorkshire, Harrogate)' or 'USA (CA, Fresno, Tower District)'.

What is your current occupation?

What else would you like included in your blog’s listing (such as frequent blog topics, your religion and/or ethnicity, strengths, talents, etc.), preferably in four words or less?

If you want your name (or pseudonym) included, provide it below. Specify your preferred pronouns if you like.

Do you want your blog's listing to link to any other websites (not necessarily autism-focused, but must feature your creative output)? If so, enter their URL's below.

Provide below the names or URL’s of any blogs by Autistic bloggers that may not be on the list.

Do you have any additional comments or suggestions?

The purpose behind the above form is to help people select blogs to read. Some readers seek bloggers with similar experiences (such as gender, parenting status, diagnosis date, or co-occurring conditions) which is why those questions are asked. Some bloggers prefer not to list such information which is why all questions are optional.
