Yeah, I'm being all organized this time. Have ideas. (Yes, this was on Yes, That Too first. That's me, I can do that.)
So, here's some ideas I think anyone can write, Autistic or not (though a non-student writing classmates would be weird, that sort of thing):
- Autistic people are people.
- Autistic people are as diverse as non-autistic people.
- Autistic people are our co-workers.
- Autistic people are our classmates.
- Autistic people are not here for inspiration.
- Autistic people are not mysteries to be solved.
- Autistic people are not tragedies.
- Autistic people are awesome.
- Autistic people are not puzzles.
- Autistic people are the experts on autism.
- Autistic people are not all children.
- Autistic people are teachers.
- Autistic people are writers.
- Autistic people are engineers.
- Autistic people are parents/mothers/fathers.
- Autistic people are historians.
- Autistic people are creative.
- Autistic people are farmers.
- Autistic people are activists.
- Autistic people are advocates.
- Autistic people are firefighters.
- Autistic people are researchers.
- Autistic people are teachers.
I think you get the idea? There are certainly more you can write about, these are just to get people started.
I'll probably either be all meta again and talk about choosing a topic, but if not, I might go with "Autistic people are researchers" since I am a researcher in nanotechnology and all. I'm not sure. Write ALL the things! Oh, and maybe I'll write one in Chinese. I think that would be cool.
Note: This is run by Autistic people, and so all the suggestions are in terms of Autistic people. If you are a person with autism, you can write a "People With Autism Are" and submit it. We respect your self-identification. If you are going to tell us what to call ourselves, however, that is not OK.
