 | #AutChat mod @autchatmod Welcome to #AutChat, a weekly chat for autistic & similar people Sundays 9pm UTC / 9pm GMT / 4pm EST! https://t.co/rRrhi9g3PS #AutChat hosts chats on topics related to our experiences as neurodivergent people. See our past topics here: https://t.co/F56bZKG5Jo |
| #AutChat mod @autchatmod #AutChat is a tag for autistic people & "autistic cousins" (people with similar experiences due to hydrocephalus, cerebral palsy, ADHD, etc). We welcome autistic/similar people whether formally diagnosed, self-dx'd, or questioning/wondering if they are autistic/similar. |
| #AutChat mod @autchatmod We post transcripts of the weekly chats to our website, https://t.co/QrdW2dQuN0. We link to them on the #AutChat tag and on our Facebook page. Transcripts are created with Wakelet, and are visible there and on our site. |
| #AutChat mod @autchatmod Other people can post, retweet, or share any of our posts or links. This includes our tweets, our Facebook posts, links to our website, and links to Wakelet. If you want your tweets excluded from future #AutChat transcripts, DM us. |
| #AutChat mod @autchatmod For #AutChat announcements and weekly questions, follow this account. DM us to request reminder tweets (we get a lot of notifications during AutChat and sometimes don’t see replies). How to participate in #AutChat and other twitter chats: https://t.co/SkuXgvj1ZM |
| #AutChat mod @autchatmod Questions are prefaced Q0, Q1, Q2, etc. When you reply, preface tweets with A0, A1, etc & include "#AutChat" so others see them! Please capitalize it as #AutChat to make it more accessible to screenreaders. |
| #AutChat mod @autchatmod Today’s #AutChat is about motor differences, such as: different nonverbal body language from neurotypical people; stimming; difficulty starting, carrying out, or stopping movements; echoing others’ actions; moving slower or faster; differences in balance or coordination. |
| #AutChat mod @autchatmod Quick reference for this week's #AutChat questions (please wait till they're tweeted to answer): https://t.co/SaUYn5D9zp Thanks to @flowerqueers for writing this week's questions! |
| #AutChat mod @autchatmod Q0: Introduce yourself! Say anything you like about yourself or your interest in #AutChat or in today's topic of motor differences. |
| #AutChat mod @autchatmod Q1: What motor differences do you experience? Do you associate them with certain diagnoses or other named traits? #AutChat |
| #AutChat mod @autchatmod Q2: How do your motor differences affect your life? #AutChat |
 | Quincy Barnstable @PointedApt RT @autchatmod: Q1: Q1: What motor differences do you experience? Do you associate them with certain diagnoses or other named traits? #AutChat |
| #AutChat mod @autchatmod Q3: Are you involved in any communities relevant to motor differences? Do you know of any? If not, do you wish you were involved or knew of some? #AutChat |
| #AutChat mod @autchatmod Q4: How would you describe the overlap between autism and motor differences? #AutChat |
 | CLE change the world @Bluebirdlouise RT @autchatmod: Q1: Q1: What motor differences do you experience? Do you associate them with certain diagnoses or other named traits? #AutChat |
 | Darla @basicnbizarre @autchatmod A0 #autchat I guess to say that I am clumsy by default, it takes concentration to be coordinated, but I’m WAY better now than I was as a kid. |
| Darla @basicnbizarre @autchatmod A1 #AutChat Generally just a lack of coordination especially when it comes to timing or predicting actions. I often get left and right confused. It gets worse when I am anxious. I have some stuff I am good at, but it took at lot of practice and similar peers were WAY ahead of me. |
| #AutChat mod @autchatmod Q5: What is the biggest or most important thing you want people to know about motor differences? #AutChat |
| Darla @basicnbizarre @autchatmod A2 #AutChat I really hit a wall when it comes to physical activity and coordination. About the only thing I am OK at is knife work and kitchen stuff, but that’s after 10+ years of work, and even then I find it impossible to achieve the expected degree of precision. (1/2) |
| Darla @basicnbizarre @autchatmod A2 #AutChat (2/2) In day to day life, I often have to really THINK about what I’m doing, and pay attention to tasks, especially if I can’t see my hands or legs when I do them. When I stopped thinking so hard on it was when I realized how much I WAS working at it. |
| Darla @basicnbizarre @autchatmod A3 #AutChat Not really? I know a lot of my fellow autistic AAC users have motor issues similar to my own, but I don’t think any issues I have there are quite enough to warrant entry into any sort of community (though I may just be gatekeeping myself). |
| Darla @basicnbizarre @autchatmod A4 #AutChat I think they are tied together. My mood affects my coordination. If I am feeling level everything is a lot easier. If I am anxious (part and parcel of my autism), things get a lot harder. Its been worse in recent years, but that tracks with the rest of my burnout. |
| Darla @basicnbizarre @autchatmod A4 #AutChat Like...I used to type MUCH better and MUCH faster than I do now. When I was in high school I was typing at secretarial speed with zero typos. Now, I have to go slower or my fingers will completely shift position if I don’t pay close attention to them. |

| #AutChat mod @autchatmod If you’d like to read more about movement differences in autism, here is a paper. It’s aimed at professionals rather than autistic people but it’s pretty good. #AutChat https://t.co/sSZ589Qzdt |
| #AutChat mod @autchatmod The scheduled #AutChat is wrapping up. It's fine to keep chatting, join in late, or use the tag at other times! |
| #AutChat mod @autchatmod Feel free to suggest ideas for #AutChat topics (or offer to help write questions)! For scheduled topics, see https://t.co/QrdW2dQuN0 |
