Whitterer on Autism was another victim of "not really a humor blog" syndrome. Our reviewers were mostly positive about it, but gave it higher marks as a family blog or blog about autism rather than a humor blog.

Percentile Rank: 11 Some quotes from our reviewers:
Interesting blog, but doesn't really qualify as a "humor blog." The "[translation = whatever]" gimmick got EXTREMELY old after about the third time. By the sixteenth time it was like being poked in the eye with a sharp stick.
Although this blog is not "funny ha-ha", it is amazing in many ways. The woman shares her trials and travails of raising two autistic children and that she does so with humor, deserves major kudos in my book. I think this bucks the system of what funny is and I found myself nodding my head and smiling along.
The only quirk was her liberal use of "translation" to make a point. I think it could be funny and effective used a bit more sparingly. Otherwise, I found the blog author to be highly relatable and will be back to read more.
This blog is a pretty good read on a very heartfelt subject and it obviously expresses a meaningful aspect of the writer's life. However, I'm not sure how funny it is - it's endearing, clever and touching, but it never even came close to the territory of being funny.
It's an interesting look on a mom with an autistic kid, but is nowhere near funny.
While the blog is well written, it focuses so much on the family, to the point where it gets to be too much. Obviously it's tough having children with autism and I can appreciate what writing must do to help the writer and the family handle autism in a positive light and create an outlet for their feelings. It's a "feel good" blog for people who can identify with autism...but not sure if it's a traditional "humor blog." I wouldn't read again, but may recommend families with autistic children to read.
While interesting, I didn't really find anything to be funny.
Whitterer on Autism is, overall, a good read, and would probably be of particular interest to other families with autistic children. Rating it strictly as a "humor blog," however, it comes up a little short.
