. . . living in despair
. . . fear of the future
. . .exhausted, broken parents
. . . lost, helpless, burdensome children
. . . a national emergency
If that's not what autism is to you, join us on Monday November 18th for the "This is Autism" flashblog.
What is it?
A flashblog is a day when a group of people share their thoughts about a single topic. You can post something on your own blog and let us know about it or you can submit your contribution here and we'll post it for you. Then we'll share everyone's posts throughout the day on Monday, here and across the web using Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr to get the word out.
What Should I Submit?
Tell us what "This is Autism" means to you. You can write a paragraph or a blog post, contribute a poem or a video, make a comic or a graphic. Use your imagination. Let's tell the world what autism is in the words and works of autistic people and those who love and support them.
Who Can Participate?
Everyone! The flashblog is open to autistic individuals as well as parents, family members and allies of autistic people.
Thank you to everyone who contributed, shared, signal boosted and cheered us on!
