inadvertently decided that 4/1 is #AutisticPeoplesDay in trying to post about Autistic People's Month without having consumed enough caffeine but I'm going with it
happy accident
Happy Autistic People's Day
4/1/26, the first day of Autistic People's Month
#NothingAboutUsWithoutUs
The biggest message I would like people to hear this #AutisticPeoplesDay & month: LISTEN to the Autistic community
Other people have spoken for many of us our entire lives
we'd like to tell you ourselves what it is like to be Autistic
I don't often watch videos/YouTube but I understand that this is how many people like to consume their content and engage with advocates/community members who may be Autistic
Here's a starter pack if you want to follow some VTubers!
