The purpose of ASDay is for Autistic people to use social networking
media and websites to tell our own stories, our own experiences from our
own lives, our difficulties, our strengths, passions and joys.
This can be done in whatever manner you feel the most comfortable, on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, on your blogs, and elsewhere.
Tell what you want people to know, in your own words and the way you want to tell it.
No
one has to use all of the social media sites out there. For example,
last year for ASDay, Kathryn stayed on Facebook, continously moderating
and managing the huge list of contributing blogs. That was a task that
Corina couldn't handle, so she stayed on Twitter, encouraging a rather
lively discussion from a large amount of people. Together, we managed
to stay on track with the mediums that suited our skills the best.
What matters is that it's your story and it's you that's telling it.
