How about autism organizations that make an effort to support them?
If you haven't heard about the Autistic Gaming Initiative yet, you're in for a treat. Autistic gamers from all over the Internet are teaming up, playing games live once a month to raise money for the Autistic Self-Advocacy Network and the Autism Women's Network. These charities are autistic-approved organizations that advocate for the interests of autistics, while providing them with much-needed resources.
EDIT: This specific stream is over, but there will be more since we have these once a month! Check out my Events page to participate in the next one.
This is the craziness that happened during the June 2017 streams:
Each gamer has their own time slot before passing the baton to the next gamer. Check out the schedule to see who's streaming!
EDIT: This was for the June 2017 stream, please check AGI's Facebook page for the more recent schedules.
