Streaming And Autism
So, I had a request to write an article about autism and streaming. This article is dedicated to Ben Verlander (https://www.twitch.tv/benverlander)
Within the 6 months, 6 months streaming already? I was thinking I how far I came today, I started streaming a lot has happened, I covered some of it in my twitch & mental health article which is available to read on my website. When I started streaming, I didn’t know where to start, what to do or where to begin. Until 2 communities started cheering me on. The streamers in California (Carrlyn & Pam Bamgoinham) helped me started basic (meaning no webcam, just an Xbox and a mic) and from their help and guidance from there amazing viewers and friends of the community I gained afflicted after 2 months.
What does my autism do when I stream? Well, nothing sad or bad has happened so far. When I go live on my schedule, I come in with hope that I have fun, chat to the viewers who take their time and effort to come and visit my simple but fun stream. And when I play and chat to people, it allows me to escape from my daily grind to a new world full possibilities. I know a few autistic people on twitch and I’m glad to say there are my friends and there to help and support if I need it.
When I’m not streaming I always look for people to host and to interact with me, besides, since I joined twitch I gained 228 followers (and growing) and talking to streamers and people in the chat are amazing, there support they give and the community vibes is just amazing. From day 1, they were there to support me and my community is keep growing everyday because of it :)
Autism been a big part of my life and twitch is a platform to help out and support others.
