Hashtags

This is a list of autistic community hashtags commonly used on Twitter.

General Use Hashtags

#AuADHD

#AuDHD

This is about being both Autistic and ADHD.

#autism

#autistic

This is about autism or an autistic person.

#ActuallyAutistic

The tweet author is an actually autistic person. This hashtag is specifically not for use by non-autistic authors when referring to somebody else, but "actually autistic" without the hashtag works.

#AskingAutistics

This is a question for an autistic person to answer. Non-autistics can use this hashtag instead of #ActuallyAutistic to summon an actually autistic oracle.

#AutismAcceptance

#AutismAcceptanceMonth

We generally like this better than #AutismAwareness.

#AutismAwareness

#AutismAwarenessMonth

This is the dominant brand for pro-autistic cheerleading. We generally prefer #AutismAcceptance. Sometimes we'll joke about #AutismBewarenessMonth because that's what it feels like.

#MentalHealth

We're talking about something related to mental healthcare.

#neurodivergent

#neurodiversity

This tweet is about a neurodiversity thing that's not just about autism.
