Get Ready For Autistics Speaking Day 2011 November 1

In 2010, there was an ill-conceived idea: shut down social media in honor of autistics. 

Corina Lynn Becker, an autistic adult, had a much better idea: Autistics Speaking Day.

From the post that started it off:

....for the intent of raising Autism awareness and battling negative stereotypes about Autism, I call that November 1st be Autistics Speaking Day.

The idea went viral.

Corina's annotated list of 2010 posts

I kept two lists running side-by-side: posts by autistics and posts by autism allies.
