Autism Twitter Day Still Going Strong #ASD
So if you’ve seen the right sidebar of this blog, you will have noticed that today is Autism Twitter Day. An enormous community of professionals, parents of people on the autism spectrum, adults on the autism spectrum…lots and lots of people with some connection to autism are all tweeting away on Twitter. So if you’re on Twitter, you can search the hashtag #ASD and follow the panel discussions and just general information sharing in real time. Loads of awareness being raised today!
There are prizes being donated, and so far I’ve learned a bit about executive functioning, vision issues, auditory processing, safety concerns, and parental concerns letters for IEP issues. There have been discussions of diets, best toys and products for kids on the spectrum, and people’s different experiences with different therapies. The discussions move pretty fast, but if I was able to follow what was going on, anyone can. There are still a few hours left!
