On blogs, autistic bloggers, and autistic space

ABSTRACT This study examined identity management as well as perceptions of blogging among autistic bloggers. The investigation found that bloggers use blogs to create autistic spaces as well as to facilitate communication with readers and commenters. Interestingly, technological tools enable followers to adapt the blog’s presentation to sensory needs. Though content is affected by ‘self-narrating-zoo-exhibit’ metaphor central to members of autistic culture, generally bloggers perceive the blog as a safer space.
