This is a survey to understand how autistic people use and understand language. @neurodivergent-mermaid, a nonverbal autistic person, gave me the idea and helped me word some of the questions.

The survey is for everyone who has or might have autism, including those who suspect autism but aren't diagnosed with it. This survey is just for fun, not research!

Page 1 is about how well you can talk and write. This includes how often you go mute and if you can talk during meltdowns.

Page 2 is about how well you can understand language.

Page 3 is about other conditions that you might have that can affect your language.

Page 4 is about your developmental history. This includes when you started talking and if you've had speech therapy.

Page 5 is about demographics. It asks your autism diagnosis, age, gender, and ethnicity.

You can skip any questions that you do not want to answer. You can stop taking the survey at any time. If you do not submit the survey, no one will see your responses. The survey is completely anonymous; no one will know if you took the survey or what your responses are.

When I have enough responses, I'll post them here!

My reaction to #ElonMusk’s #NaziSalute or #RomanSalute…whatever hell you want to call it. He’s not welcomed to my autistic community gathering anytime soon. #ActuallyAutistic or not, this is a disrespectful gesture for a litany of reasons. Historical reasons: see the #Holocaust and #WhyteSupremacy

But hey, what do I know, this is what America wanted…free speech, right? 🤷🏾‍♂️

Update: due to the possible @tiktok ban in the United States, I have decided to save all my videos for archiving and close the Black Autist #TikTok account. It sucks because it’s the lifeline for many of us #autizzy and #ActuallyAutistic folx for fun, work, and advocacy. Yet sadly, controlling expression, suppressing truths, and beefing with nations are more important 🥺

I will put my TikTok videos in a compilation soon. To my TikTok supporters, thank you.

Also, what are some good alternatives to TikTok?
