Project: Autism Storys (autismstorys.com)
(The Project has started so i closed the Voting.)
http://autismstorys.com/
The website will only contain content made by autistic people.
It will also contain (as a side feature) products and the stories of the products created by autistic people, because we have many special interests.
If you are on the spectrum and want to use your special interests to help to build up this page, it'd be most appreciated. Here are some things I need:
An Autism Storys LOGO.
icons (you can look at some web pages to see which icons are used).
default profile avatars (after creating a account, you have to choose or upload an avatar, so I need avatars. Be creative!).
Fonts (I will need fonts. One thing I can’t do is create fonts, so I need someone who can make them or I will have to use free fonts from the internet).
Design (I already have an idea how the website will look like, but I want to give you the chance to design something yourself).
Textures (a flat paper texture for the... -
'Sesame Street' Introduces Julia, a New Character With Autism
There's a new muppet on Sesame Street: Julia. She's a "preschool girl with autism who does things a little differently when playing with her friends, the lovable Elmo, Abby Cadabby and Grover," the Sesame Workshop told ABC News.
Julia is the face of a broad set of autism-awareness tools the Sesame Workshop has rolled out. In development for three years, the new program is dubbed "Sesame Street and Autism: See Amazing in All Children." It includes a dedicated website with autism resources... -
Can Asperger's get worse as you age?
I'm just thinking out loud because there are some times, a lot of it is when I'm out of the house, where I feel like my Asperger's has gotten worse. Is it possible for it to get worse as you age? -
Aspiescentral is looking for new staffmembers
As some might have noticed; Harrison isn't part of staff anymore. Life gets in the way sometimes; and sometimes... just sometimes, staffers really need a break from it all, because it can be a a bit overwhelming to deal with certain individuals. It's nothing exclusive to this forum, it happens everywhere. And considering staff does this job, essentially, for free, people might have to step back. There's no obligation for anyone to remain with staff until he (or she) gets laid off.
So, with... -

Steve Silberman: The forgotten history of autism
I'll leave this one here for anyone interested;
(The Ted talks video offers subtitles and a transcript for those interested; click the Ted logo on the top left in the video to head to the Ted talks site about the video)
I'd like to point out this is not an invite to debate vaccines, since the video does touch upon that, since it's very much part of, well... autism culture and history. -

The Relationship Lesson We Can All Learn from People Who Have Asperger's
"Love is the only game that is not called on account of darkness."
This quote, a favorite on the Internet, may be referring to the dating habits of the general population. But as someone who's grown up with Asperger's Syndrome, I find the quip uniquely fitting for the autistic community. Dating on the spectrum involves more darkness than usual.
But despite the challenges, the perspective of those on the spectrum reimagines dating's dark rules through a thoroughly... -
Sensitive Topic Mom says 11-year-old daughter with autism attacked by teens and adults
WARNING: Some of the video in the story (link at bottom of page) is graphic and might be disturbing to some viewers.
CLEVELAND, Ohio– The video is so violent, the victim’s mother has a hard time watching it.
“I was hurt. I was angry. I was upset. I was mad,” said Swann.
She said her young daughter has been bullied before, because the autism affects her ability to communicate normally.
“She mimics people,” said Joyce, “But she doesn’t mean no harm, because she...
