I started this blog during my PhD. That was a mistake.
In my often gradious, wandering thoughts, I believed this would be a place to document my journey and as an incentive to my daily writing habit. In other words, I thought that this would be beneficial for others and people would actually read regularly enough to “force” myself to continue writing on it regularly.
That failed.
I underestimated the amount of my finite time would be devoted to my dissertation and working with my advisors, that I simply couldn’t add one more thing. So, naturally, this got put aside for more pressing writing.
Yet, every so often, an idea would bubble up that would entertain me enough to write about, but would be set aside again for other more important manuscripts.
So why now? How will this be different?
Well, maybe it won’t.
Maybe, I’ll abandon this just as quickly as before. I’m hoping I won’t.
My intention is to document some of the “unspokens” of academic life that hidden just behind the vale. Also, I just need to get some thoughts out to clear space for new ones.
So, hang around if you like. Maybe there’ll be a nugget that will be helpful or informative. Maybe it will just be ramblings. Who knows. I’ll still keep posting them semi-regularly while the internet is mostly still free.
This post covers the first meeting of the Physical Activity SIG at INSAR 2019 in Montreal, Canada. Overall, this SIG will focus on strengths and barriers across the lifespan in regard to the PA behavior of autistic individuals and, through group discussion, will highlight key strategies; ultimately, developing recommendations for improving access at local sport clubs, gymnasiums/fitness centers, school-settings, or community recreation settings.
