Indigo Jo's other blog

Title says it all really. It's only been open for a year and a couple of months, it was a lively and interesting site, and I didn't always agree with what they said (and particularly some of their opinions on gender politics) but I had some other interesting exchanges and saw many more. They were instrumental in encouraging me to get referred for my Asperger's diagnosis, and I was able to talk about the effect it's had on my life in a semi-public sphere which I didn't feel comfortable doing on my blog. It helped that they were mostly women; I've long found it more comfortable talking to them than other men, even though most Aspies are male. I also found their news round-ups really useful.

I find it puzzling that they just pulled down the shutters without telling anyone in advance. They had posted a few reviews of the year, and there had been lively threads (like the one on high-pressure selling) which still had life in them. I don't think there's anything around right now that fills the same gap.
