Once again I'm doing Autistics Speaking Day.  In case you haven't heard of it before, Autistics Speaking Day, or ASDay, is a day where Autistic people are encouraged to obssesively use social media sites to tell our stories, experiences and what we want non-Autistic people to know about Autism.  This can be done in any manner that feels the most ( Read more... )
