[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I’ve read blogs by parents of special needs kids where the child eventually took over and started writing the blog.[/quote]

Who would benefit from you blogging, you or your child mostly? But really, it is your child's special needs and is more his/her story than yours. I say that as a mom with a child who will never even understand what "blog" means much less be able to take over writing it one day. I think I owe him the respect of his story being his to express, if at all, under his own capabilities. [/quote]

OP here. Does your child have intellectual disabilities?[/quote]

Not PP but my adult sibling does.  She would understand and completely hate it if she had someone blogging about her.  On the flip side, if a person can't give informed consent then they can't consent.  Blogging isn't therapeutic for the child.

I am anti mommy blogs in general--so freaking narcissistic.

There are a few exceptions b/c they talk about experiences like reading, cooking, or activities not detailing their child's private life.[/quote]
