Twitter Chat

I DID IT!!!

I participated in my very first twitter chat!  I did my research and found just the right chat (or so I thought). The chat I found was an autism chat based at LA Children's hospital.  Being an early educator, I knew that this would give me some great tips and tricks for Autism. So I put the date and time in my phone so I would not forget!  It was still 3 weeks away.... that would give me time to research other chats and make sure I knew what I was doing.

FINALLY... the sound of my phone.....and the reminder #AutismCHLAChat!!!   I was logged in and ready for go! I made sure my hashtag was in the right place and announced... my very first chat!  I had heard so much great information from my fellow peeps about how much information they gained during their chats.  I just knew this was going to be great!  As 6:30 pm came, an announcement came, there would be a guest person stepping in tonight-  Dr. Leslie Richard is a developmental behavioral pediatrician at CHLA.  Just what I needed more information in!!!  I'm so pumped for this!!!!

15 minutes in...... I was the only person interacting with the facilitator.   I asked some questions and was given no helpful information. I was told that I needed to get advice from a professional....wait.... I thought that this was a professional.  

45 minutes in.... I was still getting only warning red flag signs of autism.  I was hoping for so much more.  

I'm not going to give up.  I am still on the lookout for great early childhood twitter chats.  Do you know of any??
