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

#ActuallyAutistic
This means the tweet author is an actually autistic person. It is specifically not to be used by non-autistic authors when referring to somebody else, but "actually autistic" without the hashtag works.
#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.

This page needs a bit of formatting work on the hashtags. I want to fix the font, and maybe make them live links to Twitter. -severian

See #AutismAwareness as example for how to do similar hashtags on one line and multiple definitions.

Should Twitter be merged into this article? It could be useful having one page for e.g. "Autistic Twitter" with separate sections for prominent autistic Twitter authors and community hashtags.

>> I didn't know if this page would be twitter-specfic hashtags or if it would be for all social media platforms when I made it. If it's only for twitter, which it seems to be for now, I like the idea of moving these to the Twitter page and deleting this page. If the hashtags outgrow that page, then they can get their own page. I'll work on moving this page into Twitter soon. #gardening Severian (talk) 17:05, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
