I am going to be taking some time off. Usually when I’m not posting, I am still working on some area of the campaign, however I have to admit I have been burnt out a lot recently and been encouraged to really take some time away. So I’m going to take a break from the internet while my wife is off on holiday. I will be back on the 21st, I won’t be checking messages during this time. However, if anyone does need to get a hold of me I will still be checking emails and website messages.
The logo I uploaded yesterday was just a placeholder. I want the logo/site/interface to be created through community focus groups, plus I would love to see ideas from the community. My plan was always to set up focus groups that will help shape the online platform.
This is an idea of what I’m thinking for the platform but first there is a huge amount of work to do with getting web developers involved and finding funding, etc. However, if I can get it online it will have social spaces, linked-in peer led support, community led and focused shops and businesses, products and services reviews based on real first hand experience; personal, advocate, caregiver sections so there are separate and shared spaces. Places for caregivers to socialise and support each other but the same for us too. Plus more accessible work options for both caregivers and autistic people that want to work but don’t have access. Hopefully even a homeschool network linked to the site as well, to provide support and resources (suggested by a follower).
It’s still at the early stages but I am really hopeful because I can see it coming together. The team of advocates plus community/caregiver input... I think we can genuinely create a platform that is authentic, unique and our online home.

I don’t know enough about the internet or web development to say exactly what the platform will look like yet. However I can say what I would like it to be...
