Some of my favorite blogs on autism, mental health and Christianity

Here are some blogs I follow written by women with autism spectrum disorder. I hope you find them to be as resourceful as I have. 1. Anonymously Autistic ("Anna") https://anonymouslyautistic.net/ 2. Everyday Aspie (Samantha Craft) https://everydayaspie.wordpress.com/ Here are two blogs I follow regarding mental health (autism, though not a mental illness, is an included topic with both, and a Christian worldview in the second. 1. Broken Light Photography Collective (Danielle Hark) A positive place to share your photos and mental health story. https://brokenlightcollective.com/ 2. Confessions (Matthew Malin) A blog about mental health where you now can share your confessions about mental health and your Christian faith (though you don't have to be Christian to visit or contribute). https://findingwhoweare.com/ Here are some autism blogs that look good, but that I haven't had the chance to delve into yet: That Bloody Cat https://thatbloodycat.com/ ...
