Rolling with the Punches is a stage upon which people with or without disabilities can present ideas and teach stories or strategies and learn from others’ perspectives. All posts are written by me, Elizabeth Chesky, to provide an open forum powered by my belief that we each have our areas of strength that will meet another person’s areas of weakness. I am voicing my opinions and (hopefully) inspiring my readers, and I am also hearing my readers’ opinions and learning from them. Readers are invited to join me in my presentation by commenting on most posts, but a few posts are merely meant to inform readers. Please see my post Comments are welcome in the ‘General News and FYIs’ category for directions on how to leave a comment. The blog will branch out as I am inspired by each contributor, and thus, it is forever progressive. Rolling with the Punches showcases chapter-by- chapter summaries of the book I am writing especially for readers unfamiliar with its subject, Autism Spectrum Disorder. And it will also include more of my poetry as well as book reviews, product reviews, lists of upcoming political events, and more good stuff.
