I was nominated for the Arte y Pico award recently by Autism Insights, and I’m honoured to receive this award. I was beginning to get the feel that my blog was becoming stale, but I can feel relieved now that I’ve received an award. Autism Insights is a blog that follows the world of autism without getting too serious or hung up on the various controversies often discussed by the autistic community, and it’s quite refreshing. Thank you.

Upon winning this award you are tasked with the following rules…

  1. You have to pick 5 blogs that you consider deserve this award for their creativity, design, interesting material, and also for contributing to the blogging community, no matter what language
  2. Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to his or her blog to be visited by everyone.
  3. Each award winner has to show the award and put the name and link to the blog that has given her or him the award itself.
  4. Award-winner and the one who has given the prize have to show the link of “Arte y Pico” blog , so everyone will know the origin of this award.

Here are my five pics to nominate for the Arte y Pico award:

  1. Untreatable’s Blog - Untreatable provides an amazing amount of insight into the world of mental illness, and I recommend his blog for everyone as understanding mental illness will go a long way towards helping people with it.
  2. Be Your Own Detective - A window into the world of private investigation, Barry provides an inside look into the techniques and tools used by investigators. Not all may find his blog interesting, but I do as I have a real interest in this stuff.
  3. Reports from a Resident Alien - The blog of a female Aspie from somewhere in the United States, her entries provide a day-to-day look into the world of Asperger’s with a significantly different perspective from my own.
  4. The Secret Life of a Manic Depressive - Seaneen is an inspiration to everyone as she struggles to live with and treat her illness. She has an opinion on almost everything and her writing is really good, I hope that she achieves her dream of being a successful author someday. She accomplishes a lot more then she gives herself credit for.
  5. Life with Asperger’s - The blog of a male Aspie who takes a look at some aspects of the Aspie life that most people wouldn’t think to ask about.
