Autistic Cooldown Week?

[Joshua the Writer]

Hello, my fellow Actually Autistic peeps! I have a question: could May 1-7 be a special week for the Autistic community to recover from the burnout that happens every Autism Acceptance Month? We could call it Autistic Cool Down Week, maybe?

It could be a time for calming down and recovering from the events of April and sending positivity to each other as well as a time of self-reflection and self care for Autistics.

Who else agrees?

I actually have a Twitter Thread about this where I talked about this exact thing.

I'd be happy to get this trending.

Hi Sapphire;

What happened in April?

Why not?

By the way, I was checking out A4AOntario's twitter feed earlier this week and came across a post where you had commented on. Small world eh? (I don't use social media but there are several accounts, mostly ASAN affiliates that I check now and then)

Good idea. Sounds well suited to how we are.

Which post? Or can you not link it because I did a swear?

It was their RT of a Liz Jackson post re: A$.

I like that April is Autism Awareness Month. I wish it lasted all year around.

Yesss!

I think it is a great idea. It does two things....brings awareness and lets us be ourselves.
