The Autism Community Presents: Resources for These Interesting Times

I did my own version of this a few weeks ago, but as is typical, you get more and better information when more people contribute.  

This list covers a lot of topics, including:
  • Strategies and tips from autistic people on how to manage this crisis.
  • Coronavirus (COVID-19) information, to help counter the misinformation that\’s out there.
  • Plain language guides so everyone can understand the coronavirus situation.
  • Resources, such as emergency planning forms, instructions for face masks and hand sanitizer, and suggestions for how to keep connected socially while social distancing.
  • Links to advocacy organizations and their COVID-19 resources.
  • Guides to self-advocating in medical settings.
  • Homeschooling and \”learn something new while you\’re home!\” resources.
  • Links to legitimate charities that will actually use your money to help others instead of their CEOs\’ yacht funds.  
There\’s a lot here and I\’ll probably work through it slowly, picking and choosing the most relevant-sounding links in each category.  What I\’ve gotten through has been very helpful, though.
