A personal essay that I wrote for HuffPost three years ago showed up on the front page of the Buzzfeed today. It was about my kids and the prom.
I was a little surprised when people started texting me about it for a couple of reasons. One, I didn’t know that Buzzfeed still existed. Two, I thought I retained full ownership of the article after six months, but somebody else gave it to Buzzfeed and profited, because I didn’t. Sigh. I would make inquiries, but I’m too busy this week to bother with $50 for the article.
My bio on that article included a link to this newsletter. Hey, new subscribers! Welcome. Just some explanations. Laura McKenna’s Apt. 11D is a newsletter about politics and culture with occasional articles about autism. If you only care about autism, then check out my autism newsletter called, “The Great Leap” and a newsletter for my autism consulting business, which is going to get swallowed up by a bigger autism nonprofit business this spring. If you like random chatter, then stay here. Happy to have ‘ya.
Since we’re joined by many autism-interested subscribers, let’s talk about autism and this election.
