Want to crate a facebook blog

Rach91

Hi my names Rachel I'm 24 and I have asperges syndrome. I have been making a few posts on here recently about feeling down. At the moment things are still sensitive right now between me and sadly my ex Chris. But I'm getting stronger each day and Chris still wants to be my Friend but we can't really talk right now without argunig and getting upset but hopefully with a bit of time we will be able to talk. Anyway engough of that I want to set up a facebook blog called Rachel's world of difficulty and hope. I want to post some of the things I do on it some of the positive moments and some of the difficult times of my life. I'm having a lot of trouble setting it up not sure what to put and how to get peoples attention. Has anyone got any advice I would be really greatful thanks. Also heres a T9Qlink of me doing some public speaking feel free to watch    (Removed by moderator*)

*Hi Rachel. Thanks for joing the community and sharing with us you experiences. I'm sure you will find people here who have similar feelings and experiences. This community is anoymous however, so that people can be open about what are sometime very personal matters. Although I know you want to promote your blog.. it does allow you to be identified. So I have removed the link. You may fin using twitter and facebook better ways of promoting your blog. Best wishes Bob Mod

  • As i said, you are welcome to view yourself as a sufferer but please don't think that all autistic people find that negative thinking to be acceptable to them or to describe their identity. I'm a member of a local group of at least 25 autistic people who feel the same way. Most of them would never post on this site because of the generally negative way that autism is seen here.Yes, they have problems but they are also proud of being autistic.

    Living in this society when you are autistic isn't easy but its because of the way society is set up and the way it treats us, not because of autism itself. Fifty years ago being gay was seen as a terrible affliction and society made gay people's lives very hard and viewed them negatively. The problem was attitudes and not sexuality. Today attitudes are different and no one holds that view. I hope one day autism will be seen as just another difference and society will adapt accordingly so life is less of a struggle for all of us.

    How about 'autistic people' instead of 'sufferers' ?
