50 ways to help autistic people

So it’s World Autism Awareness Month again!

Those who follow Autistic Not Weird’s Facebook page [links open in new tabs] will know that I often use the occasion to upload a ton of picture posts- not just to spread awareness but to encourage autism acceptance too.

This year, instead of uploading facts about autism like I have in the past, I started an album called “Fifty ways to help autistic people“. And, as promised, here they are in one big album outside of Facebook.

I’m keeping this intro short, because there’s fifty things in here to digest already. So without further ado, here we go!

Fifty ways to help autistic people

(Because of copy-paste theft websites, I’ve had to disable right-clicking across Autistic Not Weird. If you want to share these, here’s the link to the full album on Facebook. Of course, sharing this article works just as well.)

So that’s it for this year!

Oh wait, no it’s not. Autism (and more importantly, autistic people) exist for the rest of the year too, so I will be joining the wider autism community in advocating to improve the lives of autistic people wherever we can.

To those who want more, feel free to join us on Autistic Not Weird’s Facebook page. And since writing for Autistic Not Weird is now literally my job, take a look at what’s available on here’s my Patreon page for those we feel able to support my work (in exchange for some nice rewards).

Take care,

Chris Bonnello / Captain Quirk

Are you tired of characters with special needs being tokenised and based on stereotypes, or being the victims rather than the heroes? This novel series may interest you!

Underdogs, a near-future dystopia series where the heroes are teenagers with special needs, is a character-driven war story which pitches twelve people against an army of millions, balancing intense action with a deeply developed neurodiverse cast.
