Autism Q&A | Jenni Chapman | Ali and Jenni

April is autism acceptance month and today I'm doing a Q&A with questions provided by YOU! As always, the only autism I'm an expert in is my own, and these are my own opinions and those I've seen shared by my autistic friends.

If you have any additional questions, feel free to leave them in the comments. Don't forget to subscribe!

Hi! We're Ali & Jenni, a femme same sex couple living in the SF Bay Area. There is no one way love is supposed to look, and representation is everything. Neither of us came out until we were adults, partially because we never saw femme lesbians (or autistic femme lesbians) in popular media. That's why we're here - to educate, inspire, and provide the representation we didn't have growing up. We'll be honest and real with you, sharing the triumphs and mess-ups as we build a life together. Be sure to subscribe for videos about autism, relationships, mental/emotional health, and more!

The questions you answered show how important it is to get people educatd about autism. You're doing an excellent job in this!

You are so incredibly eloquent. Thank you for answering all of these questions. This insight is so helpful for anyone - especially for parents of autistic girls. Keep ‘em coming!

Thank you so much for your videos. I was diagnosed with autism last year (age 22) and I haven't really thought much about it/was in denial of it. Your videos have really helped to educate me and I feel like I understand myself a little better now, so thank you for that.

Thank you for sharing your experiences as always Jenni ☺️ Also that Science camp story is horrific - as someone working in education I can't imagine putting any of my students through that, or experiencing that myself. It sounds so traumatic.
