I’m gonna try introducing an Autistic space concept to fedi–color communication cards, we had them at all the autistic self advocacy events and conferences back in the before times of in person events, it was very helpful for communicating our varying levels of nonverbalness and desire to be left alone or approached. I think it could be a useful tool here in online space if normalized, using fedi’s custom emojis (it doesn’t need to be these exact ones, anything with the color scheme/shapes would work). that’s my idea today for us Autistics maybe communicating a little better on here.

also it’s ok to reply to this post whatever color I’m on since I made it informationally and intentionally made it shared to a group and all.

(descriptions paraphrased from ASAN’s document)

actively seeking communication; may have trouble initiating conversations, but want to be approached by people who are interested in talking.

only wants to be approached by people they recognize, not by strangers. might approach strangers to talk, and that is okay; the approached people are welcome to talk back to them in that case.

probably does not want to talk to anyone, or only wants to talk to a few people. might approach others to talk, and that is okay; the approached people are welcome to talk back to them in that case. but unless you have been told already by the badge-wearer that you are on their red list, you should not approach them to talk.
