Communication Shutdown : ウィキペディア英語版 | Communication Shutdown Communication Shutdown is a global fundraiser on behalf of autism-related organizations in more than 40 countries.〔(One day without social networking for a good cause - ''The Times of India'' )〕 Beginning in 2010, the day is commemorated by individuals voluntarily refraining from using social media such as Facebook or Twitter for one day on 1 November.〔(Social Media Users Challenged to Shutdown [sic] Networks | Scoop News )〕 The concept of the event is based on the idea that social communication is difficult for autistic people. Going without social networks for one day is therefore a perspective-taking exercise for people not on the spectrum.〔(Miranda Kerr backs Communication Shutdown campaign for autism charities | ''Courier Mail'' )〕 ==Aim and participation== The aim of the event is to raise awareness about autism and also drive donations for autism services via the purchase of a social network app. The Communication Shutdown charity app provides a shutdown badge to wear online, adds participants to a global mosaic next to high-profile supporters, as well as other ways to show support. High-profile supporters in 2010 include Buzz Aldrin, Fran Drescher, Miranda Kerr, Holly Robinson-Peete, Steven Seagal, Deepak Chopra and Dr Temple Grandin.〔(Ari Herzog: Take a Break from Facebook and Twitter For 1 Day )〕 Global autism partners include members of Autism Europe, Autism Initiatives UK, Autism Awareness Australia, The ASHA Foundation India and grassroots organisations in America including the HollyRod Foundation, Giant Steps and the Autism Society of Colorado.
