Autistics
Speaking Day. This is going to be my second one (wow when did this
happen?) It's also my second one being involved with helping run
stuff, because this is me and apparently helping all the blogs be
things is what I do (really what is this?) Not even joking. AutisticsSpeaking Day. Autism Positivity. Pile of one-shot flash blogs.
Autistic Alligator. Allistic/NT Privilege. We Are Like Your Child.
The
thing in common between all of those? It's about Disabled people
making ourselves heard (usually specifically Autistic people, though
Allistic/NT Privilege is all neurodivergences with a focus on autism
because I'm autistic and We Are Like Your Child is any disability
with some autism focus because of who the mods are.)
And
looking at the history of Autistics Speaking Day, it looks like what
I'm doing on those other blogs, what I'm doing on my personal blog?
Are pretty well in line with the idea behind Autistics Speaking Day.
I can work with that.
So
there it is. Autistics Speaking Day is coming. I've been doing stuff
that's in line with Autistics Speaking Day. That doesn't mean I know
what I'm writing for it. Last year I talked about Autistics Speaking
Every Day. I want to do something different this year. Not sure what.
I should get thinking, because it's only a week away, and I don't
want to be writing my post on the day of because then it won't be my
November 1 post. Also because November 1 is the start of NaNoWriMo.
I'm more than happy giving some of my non-writing time on Day One to
helping run ASDay, but no,
I am not writing anything other than novel on November 1 outside of
class time. That is not a thing that is happening. Not if I'm making
my Day One Ridiculous Goal of 10k words and my Weekend One Ridiculous
Goal of 50k words at the end of the first weekend. Yes, that is
“winning” NaNoWriMo in three days. At my typical/low-ish typing
speed, it's about 20 hours of writing over the course of
Friday-Sunday. I can get faster, but I'm calculating off the low end
because it's a lot of words and a lot of time.
I hope you pre-wrote your Autistic History Month entry, then!! :-)
