One of the goals of my advocacy is to create an open dialogue. This is
the first post in which I am asking the reader to contribute and share ideas.
Please participate. The more the merrier. This could be a complete disaster, or
very interesting. Please keep it respectful and civil.
Since my decision to dive into advocacy, I have learned a
great deal about social media; How to target interests, how to promote, how to
have fun with, how to do research and gauge people’s reaction.
One of the tools that I use is TweetDeck. It is a great
program that allows me to monitor several different interests. I have a sports
stream for work and for my own personal enjoyment, and I also have an autism
stream that I watch very closely. Through that stream I have met a lot of
great, involved parents that are fighting like hell for their kids. It lifts me
up every time I fire up TweetDeck because it is a constant reminder that my
family is not in this battle alone.
