So yeah. I made some Autism "Propeganda" called "We Are Autism." It currently includes a magnet, mousemat and mug.

What will these be useful for? Most people in our immediate environment already know about our diagnoses, and if they don't, there may be reasons why tehy shouldn't find out either. And these are the people who will see the items. Besides, I don't think an item that says "We Are Autism" is really going to educate or inform anyone about anything, because no-one will know the context unless we explain, and in my experience, the genral public doesn't want to hear about autistic advocacy.

I couldn't really fit the whole Autism wikipedia article on it.

I just thought it'd be a nice addition to every other Autism "awareness" item there is.

I'm thinking of doing a video.........educating NTs on how we work/feel, and how to get the best out of us.

But I can only do my point of view though, so I think everyone who is able should try to do something like this.
