SO IT'S Awareness Month?

since am one of those people Dx at the tender age of 50 (yes, 50. and yes am older now, shut up), am not acquainted with the american rituals of national days or awareness months involving autism.

welp, let me do this as a gentle reminder:

  1. BLACK
  2. INDIGENOUS
  3. PUERTO RICAN
  4. CARIBBEAN
  5. LATINOAMERICANES
  6. WOMEN

can be too.

and in my case: with a sprinkling of good ol' extra spicy .

but ironically, 🧵

If you read large print or dyslexic font paperback books do you prefer this to be indicated on the cover (say on a banner at the top) to help you identify the accommodation?

I compiled a quick poll based on different perspectives I've read.

➡️ Please consider sharing to help me reach more readers.

@bookstodon I am hoping my poll will keep teacher the readers of large print and dyslexic font. If you have a moment or know someone, please boost this signal.

@bookstodon many months ago I received feedback that some readers disliked how I labeled my large-font edition of Late Identified workbook. So I could do better, I asked.

The majority that participated reported they wanted the accommodation labeled on their paperback in a visible way.

“Large Font Edition” or “Dyslexic Font Edition”

When I asked where, most said on the spine.

I am working on a revised cover for Late-Identified AuDHD: A Beginner's Workbook (retitled 2nd edition). I've been repeatedly advised that using a dyslexic-friendly font in my work is unprofessional. Well, I am a professional with dyslexia... and the use of dyslexia-friendly fonts is a professional choice. Hard line.

Do you want to schedule your posts on Mastodon so that you write them now and they are automatically published later?

Some third party apps including Tusky and Fedilab have a built-in scheduling option. Fedilab also runs a website at https://plan.fedilab.app which lets you schedule posts.

If you want a professional scheduled post management system, there are third party commercial services such as https://publer.io and https://buffer.com that now include Mastodon compatibility.

@feditips also @megalodon for android, which I find excellent.
(I use it to reach audiences in different time zones, so they don't miss my posts).
(Also, for insomniac posts, when my followers are soundly sleeping 😁)

Edit: because 😂

I know some people have issues with things written with , but it's helped me a lot. I am , have difficulty writing (especially longer content), and have difficulty putting complex ideas in an easy-to-understand way that flows. ChatGPT has helped me write a lot faster and better.
