that Rienke was gaming for the autism fund, or they have a reference to a number of bloggers about their autism which can also go on.
Also, fellow blogger Gewoon Autastisch has made a very handy overview of online activities in this Week of #Gaut! Here are several people and projects mentioned that are certainly interesting to keep an eye on.
I hope that this week I will be able to write a lot about autism, explain more and more about it to the people around me. I also want to support and promote other people’s projects as much as possible. So if you have something I can confess, let me know!
The chemical symbol for gold is Au. This symbol has been picked up by the neurodiversity movement on the internet and baptized to the “Autistic Union”. Abbreviated to Âû. With this also the color gold was adopted as the basic color for autism. The Dutch word for gold is goud. And from that it’s a small step to Gaut
People on Twitter and other social media started including the letters Âû in their name to let others know that they are part of this union. With this they try to indicate that they are open to talk about autism and are willing to answer questions that people have.
So that’s why we choose gold as the color for this week!
I think it would be great to show everyone his or her beautiful side of autism on the different social media platforms. Like Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. If we do this en masse with the hashtag #OurGoldenMoment, #Gaut and/or #AutismeWeek2020 we can show people how autism can be. Different from what is written about us in the textbooks. You know, the textbooks written by neurotypical people, people who didn’t experience autism firsthand. This is not an attack on them, but a moment to show us.
If you want to share something with autism week this week, don’t forget to use the hash tags; #Gaut and #AutismeWeek2020.
Maybe this week I have a surprise in store for me… Who knows? Wink:
