Blogger

In our "Autism is Versatile" project, you can become a regular blogger. You'll write occasional blog posts about your own experiences.

For our "Autism is Versatile" project, we're looking for adults with autism who enjoy blogging indefinitely. Because we want to provide a picture of autism based on personal experiences, only people with an official autism diagnosis are participating in this project. The goal of the project is to showcase the multifaceted nature of autism. Therefore, more than ten different bloggers are blogging for this project.

The amount of time you spend on a blog and incorporating the feedback you receive varies from person to person. The editorial team will ensure the blog is ultimately published on the website. Therefore, no technical knowledge is required. You'll receive feedback from the editorial team on every blog post you write.

When writing a blog post, you are bound by the guidelines. These describe what we expect from a blog post and what we expect from bloggers. Within the guidelines, you are free to write about whatever you want. After all, it's about your life and what's important to you. You can also find inspiration in our existing themes.

We also publish blogs annually on the theme of the NVA Autism Week (in the spring) and our own theme week (in the fall). No blogs are published during the summer holidays.

What are the responsibilities?

• You will write a blog post at least 5 times a year and no more than 10 times a year.
• You will adjust your blog post based on feedback from the editorial team.
• You will help raise awareness of the blog project, at least by sharing your own blog posts within your own network.
• There will be an online meeting twice a year via Teams with the coordinator, the editorial team, and the other bloggers (if this proves too overwhelming, we will discuss alternative formats).

• You enjoy sharing your experiences with autism with others.

• You can write engagingly and clearly, or would like to learn to do so.
