As a side note, I ([REDACTED USER]) will be aiming to use only Willie Wonka & the Chocolate Factory gifs/photos for tonights chat. I have no reason, other than because I can 🤷🏻‍♀️ #OTalk https://t.co/wLaIEQ6FIm

[REDACTED USER] A1. This will be easy. I am #actuallyautistic. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] I think you guys are sending all the clouds and rain to Los Angeles. We have loads of this type of weather in the last 2-3 weeks! #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Question 1: #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] Think of it as a real time discussion- just like what you would have done at your uni. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Dont worry & welcome! If you click on the hashtag you can follow the recent tweets. Maybe just start by replying to a few tweets or questions & go from there. #Otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] Since COVID 19 is making many to go shelter in place, I will gladly take it. 😂 #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] Wrong person- I don’t have a dog. 😛 #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@debbieduckie [REDACTED USER] Well- I can be a futuristic version of some of them... since I received some when I was in OT school. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Question 2. #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I began to grasp how ableist our societies can be. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Hello! #Otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ And on the other hand, I couldn’t believe information of people having the blended perspective of being an autistic OT practitioner was so scarce! #otalk

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] A few minutes ago, I retweeted a thread about autistics and telephone calls. I am able to handle them just fine now, including teleconference calls. That said, this format is hard for some autistic OT’s to get involved in our profession. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] Yeah- hour long teleconference calls is preferred format of operation for the OT committees I am involved in in the USA... because it is tough to gather people from possibly 4 different time zones at the same time. #otalk
OT__guy @sobayooluwatobi
It has been difficult for service users in most Africa countries. 1.Due to insufficient service provider: When there are no enough service providers (health sector) it's very risky for us . Imagine where an OT has to attend to dozens of clients. [REDACTED USER] #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@sobayooluwatobi [REDACTED USER] Actually even in the states, this can happen too. Heard an ex classmate of mine having 100+ kids on his school based case load some time ago. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] In my case, I am the first in my family... lol! #otalk

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ In academia, this has become common knowledge to my students. I had some students say, “I watched your first TEDx talk.” Plus, I also guest lectured my share too. #otalk
OT__guy @sobayooluwatobi
2.when I book an appointment with a service provider I get delayed most time due to number of people he/she has to attend to. [REDACTED USER] #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] In my case, it also has an added benefit in form of this message... Grades don’t matter in success for OT. Your heart, passion, and motivation matter more! #otalk

RT @OTalk_: Question 2. #OTalk https://t.co/ijKNeFnwW8
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] Or in my case will now be an added factor- given I could be a past/future instructor for my placement students, since I only take them from the programs I am teaching. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Were half way through tonights #OTalk, where does the time go https://t.co/k4gHsgg5pN
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] Oh- because I only take students from one uni now, and it is the one I teach at. So, for me timing of disclosing, especially if they will have me in class in the future, doesn’t matter to my case. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Question 4: #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ There are times I can be socially awkward. So please be understanding. Also, I use social media as a way to get to know people... especially since I could be on the shy side if I meet you IRL first. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] Yes! Guest lectures on certain diagnosis can help students get an overview on how these diagnoses affect people’s abilities to perform occupations as a whole. But specifically with each client, you still got to find out! #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Were into the last 15 minutes of tonights #OTalk. Any final thoughts or takeaway messages? [REDACTED USER] https://t.co/1PiJRhIHGM
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
Sometimes I feel like I am a poster child of an autistic OT practitioner- being so involved and going around the globe. But I do what I do so that I can show my autistic peers that certain things are actually possible in a concrete way. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@EllieOTforKids [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I have heard some OT’s say I am inspirational to them. But at the end of the day, I still got a lot to learn and improve on still. I am nowhere a finished product yet. I consider myself one after my career is over. #otalk
OT__guy @sobayooluwatobi
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ To enhance the practice ,I tell them about people and client who had the same story with theirs and how they are better presently ,this will really enhance them and make my work effective. And creating more awareness about occupational therapy will help too #OTalk [REDACTED USER]
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I put a Fairy Oddparents pic in there at the beginning of today’s chat. 😂 #OTalk

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@ABraunizer @anyadei [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I heard of Second Life is a common one for autistic folks back in the day. Now maybe Sims 4 or Minecraft? #otalk

[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ Well- my experiences now in working in nursing homes... that will help me think of what to advocate for the autistic elderly. #otalk

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @anyadei [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ That is why especially now... since I already told my uni that I am a ready made patient for mental health simulations if they go that way for 1 week placements. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ The TEDx community that I am still a part of has some awesome ideas. I know they are doing a virtual sing-a-long on Saturday. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_

#OTalk 31st March 2019 – Occupational Therapy’s role in Domestic Violence https://t.co/fjUVb2Wenw
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I heard there are rumors of bringing a similar thing to @OT24Vx back. Don’t know how true that is. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Join us again for #OTalk next week when our topic will be on the OT role within Domestic Violence with our host @Alannah_OT.
