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.
