Autism Twitter Day Recap

Autism Twitter Day

I had so much fun Tuesday on Autism Twitter Day, even though I wasn’t able to really participate until after my little guy was in bed. This was the first time I had followed a hashtag conversation (it was #asd), so that was a new experience as well.

PF Anderson of Emerging Technologies Librarian wrote about it and put together a slideshow with some highlights. I even won a prize – I’ll definitely post about it after we try them out!

The best part about the day for me was the opportunity to connect with so many other individuals, parents and professionals whose lives are impacted by autism. I followed everybody I could from the RSVP page although I haven’t had a chance to check out their blogs/sites yet.

Huge thank yous and kudos to Bonnie Sayers from Autism Family Adventures for creating and masterminding this awesome event!

For those of you who took part, what did you think about Autism Twitter Day? And if you’re visiting me from Twitter, please leave me a comment so I can return the visit!

  • I thought it was wonderful! I was diagnosed at 28 with Asperger’s and I enjoy talking to other people with it and learning what it’s like for parents who have children on the spectrum. It gave me the warm fuzzies:).

  • Had a great time. Added about 50 followers that day, too, and probably could have connected with more, were it not for my employer’s insane insistence that I work while at the office.
