Thank you for joining me today for the first ever #AutismBoost event! I want to thank @angelinebadams for coming up with the name. The name is a play on signal boost. https://twitter.com/angelinebadams/status/1247169403621445632?s=19">https://twitter.com/angelineb...

I had been thinking about doing something like #AutismBoost for awhile. And I decided to do it this Autism Acceptance Month because it seemed like a perfect time to start.

Let me tell you about what sparked the idea for this event...

I& #39;ve been on all sorts of social media & websites interacting with other autistics since I found out I was autistic in 2018. Interacting on those sites have been so helpful! At the end of 2019 I started interacting with Autistic Twitter.

It& #39;s been pretty great talking to people who experience autism in similar & different ways. I& #39;ve also been inspired by people who advocate all the time on social media. And autistics who find the time to be creative & pursue their interests.

I don& #39;t have much energy to advocate because I have multiple chronic illnesses. But I wanted to do something for the autistic community since they mean so much to me. And I thought why not share all the creative endeavors our community does?

I can& #39;t wait to see what everyone in the Autistic community has to share. Please post your projects & online shops on this thread. I& #39;ll retweet what you all share!
