Meowing Behind the Toilet
Unless you came here looking for pictures of monkeys jumping for your 8th grade science project or unless you're my own parents who read this because you have to, then at some point in your life you've probably gone online to connect with others so you don't feel so alone.
Brain, Child is one of my favorite paper magazines and each issue they put a few articles online. Donna Eis' Online, Off Kilter is a fascinating look at online communities for moms. It's a great read for anyone who's ever belonged to an online mom's group and it happens to contain one of the best metaphors about a deaf cat that I've read in a long time.
Thanks for the heads up on this one Megan! I love this magazine but I don't get the issues till my friend is done reading hers ;) I LOVE this article. The only downside is I wish I'd written it myself!
Love the new site design. Trying to convince my husband I NEED that bedside table sidebar.
Keep up the great work, love the blog and the podcast!

Online communities are a good thing, for learning and sharing knowledge, or just to pass the time on any particular topic.
As far as Meowing Behind the Toilet, that happened to us when I was a boy, only for us, it was a calico Meowing Behind the Refrigerator. We named him "Ferocious II" and kept him for quite a few years.

Excellent article. Stumbled on another great read on the neurodiversity movement while I was there. Thanks for linking to such excellent material.
