If you mention diet, exercise, or weight today, we ask you to put “cw: weight” at the start of those tweets to increase accessibility for autistic people who have experienced sizeism and/or eating disorders and may find those topics triggering/distressing. #AutChat

We used to post Wakelet transcripts of our weekly Twitter chats to autchat.com. We also linked to them on the #AutChat tag and on Facebook.

However, at this point in our transition to BlueSky, we don’t know how to integrate Wakelet/similar. For the time being, we do not make transcripts.

We welcome autistic/similar people whether formally diagnosed, self-diagnosed, or questioning/wondering if they are autistic/similar.
