This is now The Histio Blog: A Community Blog. We have had so many great guest writers over the years from our community, so we figured, let's have our community be the main voice of the blog.

One of the blog's main contributors is from Barb Adams, author of the histio children's books: "Someone I Know Has Histio," "Casey and the Messy Clean-up Crew" and "Hold on Henry."

If you have an idea for a blog post or want to write an upcoming post about your own, or a family member's histio experience, please email Peteryanefski@histio.org.
