Twitter is a great place to find #ActuallyAutistic people writing interesting stuff.
Here are six people I follow:
@Kieranrose7 The Autistic Advocate @Autismage Cos @Outfoxgloved Rhi @MeDecoded MeDecoded@SheffieldLuke Luke Beardon @AnnMemmott Ann Memmott
Does anyone else here use Twitter?
If so, who do you follow?
I don't use Twitter any more. For the last year or two I've been using Mastodon to get on the Fediverse, which is a smaller, distributed social network with a much more supportive community. There seem to be a lot of autistic people on there - search #actuallyautistic to find some.
It's a refuge for social outgroups, so there's a high proportion of LGBT people on there, a lot of wild young misfits. But anything offensive or triggering - even selfies with eye contact - gets hidden behind a content warning, so you don't have to engage.
https://joinmastodon.org/ if you're interested.
Thanks Hugh, that sounds really interesting - I'll take a look.
