Autism Spectrum Student's Blog

Okay. I'm a mom. What can I say? I got a few spare seconds and decided to look at my 18 year-old son's blog that he is required to keep for his Freshman Comp class. He has always had problems with writing. (He got a 4 on the ACT writing; 25 composite. Yikes!) Language issues are part of the disorder. So I was pleasantly surprised at the coherence of his writing. Now if he'd just proof it before posting... I'm beginning to think, no, believe that blogging can be an effective tool for ALL of our students. I thought a real world example might help.

Would your son appreciate comments on his blog? I can think of about 30 people who might pay his blog a visit!
