What Does the Twitter Hashtag #ASDay Stand for?

Corina Becker originated the idea for Autistics Speaking Day November 1, 2010, ad proposed the hashtag #AutisticsSpeakingDay.  But that takes up 20 of the 140 characters in a tweet, so earlier today she proposed a shorter hashtag, #ASDay.

Even if you don't use Twitter, you can see what is going on by going to
