onesie wednesday 2nd April coming

longman

Now forgive me being a bit of a misery and cynic, but can someone please elucidate "onesie Wednesday" - maybe a NAS Moderator, as this is a NAS instigated fund raising event.

For one thing the idea that anyone wore attire like this was a revelation for me. Is this more American....or maybe a London thing.....?

But I wonder too what some spectrum folks think of rattling buckets in a crowded street wearing one piece pyjamas in a weird design.......

  • Hi Longman,

    I asked one of our fundraising team to respond, his answer is below. 

    "Onesie Wednesday was created to give people a platform to stand out, and stand up for autism. It's a way of allowing people to show that's it's ok to be different, by doing everyday activities in a not-so-everyday outfit.

     

     

    Of course we appreciate that this campaign will not appeal to everyone. Finding one thing that appeals to absolutely everyone, whether they are on the spectrum or not, is incredibly difficult. But we can say that the response, both form our supporters and those we support, has been incredibly positive, and we have several volunteers on the spectrum who can't wait to get out their in their onesies and join us for our train station bucket collection."
