Hi #AutChat friends! We are still mid-transition to BlueSky. We don't have a formal chat planned for today, but we'll be logged into @autchatmod over there in 1 hour (1pm Pacific/4pm Eastern) to hold space in case anyone is around and wants to hang out!
Hi #AutChat friends!
Given our in-progress transition towards BlueSky, we don’t have a formal topic or time scheduled... But we’ll be hanging out for a bit today on the #AutChat tag over there if anyone wants to stop in and say hello. Same handle (@autchatmod) on BlueSky too!
Thank you endlessly to every founder, mod, question writer, and attendee who made #AutChat on Twitter great over the years! We are looking forward to recreating another lovely community on a sequel platform.
We will keep y’all who are still on Twitter updated on this transition as it progresses. For now, please also follow @autchatmod.bsky.social, and autistic/similarly neurodivergent folks, feel free to post to the #AutChat tag over there at any time.
We do not have further #AutChat topics scheduled out at this time, because we are trying to engineer a transition over to the social platform BlueSky. We consider this rather long overdue given Twitter’s decline - but we’re autistic! Change is hard!
#AutChat is a tag for autistic people & "autistic cousins" (people with similar experiences due to hydrocephalus, cerebral palsy, ADHD, etc).
We welcome autistic/similar people whether formally diagnosed, self-dx'd, or questioning/wondering if they are autistic/similar.
Q3: Did the internet play a role in your learning about autism or other neurodivergences (either pre- or post-dx/self-dx)? #AutChat
A2: I tend to use them in settings where social interaction or social interactions are expected certain way.
For example ordering food. Booking into a medical appointment.
They provide a bit of a routine for me. And this helps a little with anxiety.

Q2: If you use scripts, what situations are they most helpful with? #AutChat
Q1: Do you use scripts? Why or why not? #AutChat
A0: hi I’m Oliver. He/him. Trans, queer, disabled, neurodivergent.
I use scripts a lot.

#AutChat Q1:
When I'm arguing with a troll online and they know they're losing they will try to pivot the conversation by attacking or questioning my autism.
Most claim I can't be autistic because I'm articulate or because I use the Internet.
Q1: When have others doubted that you are autistic or similarly neurodivergent, if they have? In what kinds of situations? #AutChat
Many autistic and similarly neurodivergent people have had others doubt they are really autistic/otherwise neurodivergent. This can happen regardless of whether someone has been formally diagnosed, or is self-diagnosed, or questioning. Sometimes we doubt ourselves, too. #AutChat
Hello #AutChat friends. We're so sorry that chat didn't happen today. Miscommunications between us mods led to no chat tweets today without any notice.
Our sincerest apologies!
Plan to see us next week at the usual time.
We will have an updated schedule posted to the website.
A0 Hi I'm Alyssa and I do the thing sometimes.

Q1: Do you have meltdowns as an adult? Can you see them coming/hold them in until in a safe place? Are there any typical triggers? #AutChat
Q1: What does functioning well mean to you, for you? How well or poorly does it correspond to looking/acting more or less autistic? #AutChat
A2: currently my main challenge in playing wheelchair rugby league is name being non verbal.
Otherwise things which are challenges are: anxiety, paranoia, social aspects.
But I find the wheelchair rugby league team I play for are all really supportive. #AutChat
Q2: What have your teamwork experiences been like? Challenges? Rewards? #AutChat
