Hi,
I am Eric.
I welcome you to Autism World.
I have Aspergers Syndrome, a form of autism.
I have created this blog, which I will try to update at least once a week, or when I have some info for new readers.
This blog was created in anticipation of the first annual Autism Silence Day, which will happen on October 16th for the United States and Canada.
I created Autism Silence Day not out of invention, but out of imitation from another group which has their own Silence Day every April. After posting the idea online, this idea caught on like breaking news.
If you reside in the United Kingdom, you will have your Autism Silence Day on October 18th and Australia on October 24th.
Individuals, regardless if autistic or not, are more than welcome to do this.
My support group at my school will do this & hopefully this idea will have a strong following.
Here are the rules:
1.} Take a 24-hour vow of silence.
2.} I do not encourage this, but it would help if you taped your mouths shut.
3.} If tape is used, red or blue duct tape would work best since your words have to be written on the tape.
ex.} "End the Silence Now!", "We are not Helpless", etc.
4.} Please use cue cards that explains what you are doing.
5.} Cue cards must be written in your own words.
6.} Have fun!
