Please join in on autism twitter day Tuesday, December 16, 2008 to promote positive autism awareness. There are blog posts here showing the prizes to be awarded based on your autism knowledge.
There will be panel members at 9AM, 12:30PM and 8:00PM pacific standard time. Questions will be tweeted at those times as well as throughout the day. Please follow and use #ASD hashtag to post on autism by sharing about your family experience, school, bus, behavior, therapies, diets, social skills, independent living, hygiene, bullying, IEPs, respite, books, toys, etc. that have helped your family. This includes sharing links to your sites and blog posts.
This is open to twitter members, specifically those who are members of the autism community, whether it be a parent, sibling or relative. If you are on the spectrum you are welcome to take part. Anyone can take part to learn more about autism spectrum disorders. Most of the prizes are geared to children and young adults with autism or asperger syndrome. Some prizes are available to US members only, others are for US and Canada with International available for a few as well. It will be noted when tweeting about the prize who is eligible to receive it.
I do recommend opening one window in www.summize.com to follow #ASD and have one window open in twitter to post your own tweets. You will click on reply at summize to tweets you see in summize and this will open a new window with the reply @ already listed in box to tweet.

I'd love to hear from people about all the different aspects of autism. I come across a lot of friends who have spec. needs children and can share..

Thanks, I will be there!

Thanks for organizing this Bonnie.
I'm looking forward to it!
I look forward to answering your questions about assistance dogs for children with autism.
Just playing catch up now. Still don't know what a hashtag really is, but I'm dragging myself up that ol' learnin curve.
Well done you.
Cheers
I'll be there to talk about Autism, social skills training and video modeling. Looking forward to Autism Twitter Day!

Happy to take part.
It's amazing all that you're doing! I'll be glad to participate!
Really looking forward to being a part of this!
Holy crap it was late last night... I'm only just realizing I totally screwed up your WHOLE mr. linky. People always screw up and DON'T leave their twit url.. and there I did it. I really thought you wanted blogs listed...sorry.
If you know everyone's twit url you can easiy edit the list yourself. log into blenza.com then click on widgets, then open the widget for today, you will see everyone listed, and can edit each one individually? I'm so sorry about the extra work. I cam here to get a twitter url of someone on your list who talked with me just now on my blog but she doesn't have her twitter url listed on her blog... email me?
I Co-direct a camp (www.ReCreationCampOC.com)for adults and children with disabilites and we are looking to learn from the parents, the real experts, on works best so that we can provide the best experience possible! Thanks for doing this. You rock! In fact, you all rock!
Dream Big.

This is fantastic! Thank you!

Whoohoo! Sounds like a fun day and a gem for get acquainted opportunities! Kudos for setting this up :-)
Can't wait! I am a supervisor for an Autism Waiver Company here in Baltimore, MD and I feel that you can never stop learning about Autism!
I'll be around pretty much all day--my areas of knowledge fall toward Asperger's (both childhood and adult), sensory issues and nultiple dx.
I'm in and Tweeting.
I posted on my blog and I'll be there, probably later in the day / evening but I'll be there :).
Thanks Bonnie for all your hard work in setting this up!
Thanks for the reminder, Bonnie! I'll be there.

Cool humans like me, it has been interesting having Asburgers all these years, look forward to take part. :)
RSVP for Autism Twitter Day.
Twitter account: Tammir
My kid has asperger's and we're doing pretty well with it. It'll be great to meet other parents. Maybe there's some in our area to know, as well.
I hope I'll figure out how this works!
I will be there!
Planning on being twittering.
Bonnie, you rock!
I will be there, as much all day as I can!
Hi Bonnie, this is awesome. I kind of goofed. Can you delete #94, I added Mickies blog by mistake instead of my twitter profile. Talk to you Monday! :)
I hope to get Twitter figured out by then. Thanks for doing this.
OK, I'm a newbie at this but willing to give it a try. I've been twittering for a while covering my 3 kids ages 9,6 and now 9mo. My 9yr old Trevor is a great kid on the spectrum and though limited verbally, he knows how to communicate.
See, I already managed to mess it up and entered wrong twitter, sorry.
I just discovered this by scanning Twitter. I will try to participate on Tuesday!
I've known about this for a while, but didn't realize I needed to RSVP. Looking forward to it, even though we're still awaiting our diagnosis.
Shoot! You can delete #109 -- Mr. Linky did the auto-fill with my blog URL and I pressed "enter" before thinking -- I then added my twitter ID and URL, but couldn't delete my previous entry. Sorry 'bout that!
Such a great idea Bonnie! My nephew and also my cousin's son have austism... always learning as much as I can or promoting awareness...
Wow - what a fascinating amalgamation of social tech tools going together to pull this off! I think I'll blog it myself. :)
I just found out about this. I'm in! I'll spread the word on my blog.
I'm very excited! I found out I have Aspergers when I was 28. 30 now. I do have a blog dedicated to my experiences:

Thanks for setting this up.
Is it too late to rsvp? I don't see a mr linky?

I really look forward to learning from all the people taking part in this. I've been working as a behavioral therapist for children with autism for the past 3 months now.

Looking forward to learning!
I'll try to tweet as much as I can today. My 2 sons have Autism so thank you for this!
thanks to whoever came up with this. i have a 4 year old who is nonverbal and diagnosed with ASD. It's exciting to see parents and those impacted by autism coming together.
Thank you so much Bonnie!
Today is Autism Twitter Day #asd Click here for a special screening for Kerasotes All Stars: Famiies affected by autism http://is.gd/bYer
Kerasotes has launched an event series called Kerasotes All Stars! It's movies specifically designed for families affected by Autism. It is active in Chicago, and spreading to other markets.
I'll go ahead and join in the fun; I can't seem to focus on actual research today...
Same username as I use everywhere else. :)
I almost missed this one! I'm a writer and a primary at home care person for my autistic son. He's high functioning, very smart and we are very lucky that he has a good outlook. That doesn't mean it's easy to get him to get past his frustrations and apply himself.
Looking forward to it. Great work putting this together! We will spread the word.
very cool post
