Blog Reboot

 "Just another voice in a crowded room?" Those were the words I used when I began my blogging journey back on March 5th of 2010. I then went on to say who I was, why I wasn't just another voice, and that I hoped that in the following days, months, and hopefully years you would join me on my journey as a presenter, blogger, and all things between. It's been a while though, hasn't it?

My blog is now empty. The 1,400 posts of the past are now gone as this is a reboot which means I can't simply link back to a prior event to explain a concept. It's been almost five years since I wrote a blogpost and in that time I've grown to see things different so the way I may describe something now may have been drastically different to the ones I have done in the past.

My mission when I began blogging was one of, well, confusion. I didn't know if anyone would ever read a word I wrote, but the +700,000 reads I've had states to the fact that yes, people did read. I had amazing input, conversations, and comments from people from all parts of the globe and I look forward to reconnecting with everyone that was so loyal to this blog.

I'm excited! I could write paragraph after paragraph on all the exciting stories and experiences I've had the past five years, new insights, and the hope I have for the advancement of the level of understanding society as a whole has of the autism spectrum. 

As I wrote on my very first post this blog is not going to give medical advice. I won't tell you how to think or what is the best way of anything, and the opinions expressed in this blog are mine and mine alone. However, I hope to give you a glimpse at what goes on "on the other side of the wall" and the mechanics of behavior and the way they play out in my life. It's going to be a wonderful ride through all the ups and downs and thanks for being patient with me as it took a long while, but I have found my voice once more.
