**(So I ran my own website “blog” up until a little over a year ago, but stopped posting to it for a few different reasons…
The main reason being that Facebook doesn’t favor “outbound” links in their algorithm… meaning, you are less likely to see my blog post in your timeline if it’s from my website.
I’ve kept writing, but the majority of those who follow me are right here on Facebook. So I’ve kept up my writing here.
But there was a resource I put together on my website a couple years ago that was a resource just for Dads.
And with Father’s Day coming up, I wanted to share it again.
It is a list of Facebook groups and pages just for Dads and/or run by Dads.
I will put the url in the comments)**
In my experiences, I’ve found that the demographic involved with support and caregiving (at least on social media) is made up of 85%-90% female.
This is probably not a reflection of the demographic percentage of actual caregivers, but that is what I have observed in social media, either in forums, or on various autism pages.
And being a Dad of an Ausome kiddo, there is no lack of support from the community, but if you are looking for support from other Dads in a similar situation, you do have to do some searching.
I’ve simplified that search for you. If you are a male caregiver or if you KNOW a male caregiver that is looking for support from other Dads/Male Caregivers here is a list for you.
I’m sure I’ve left some off, but feel free to sound off on other pages/groups in the comments.
