Autism Articles I Wrote for Other Sites in 2022

This past year, I ventured outside my comfort zone and dabbled in freelance writing. My topic: Autism. 🤭

I don’t see myself continuing to be a freelance writer in the future, full-time, though I wouldn’t mind the occasional guest post. 🙃 Keeping up with my own blog while freelance writing full-time was difficult. I know the popular solution right now is AI, but that feels like an insult as a writer. 🤷‍♀️

31 posts about autism and neurodiversity

I lost count of how many autism articles I wrote in 2022, but I wanted to share the public ones attributed to me with you in one place!

If you’d told me a year ago that I’d guest post on other sites about autism, I wouldn’t believe you. 😂
