So, before I introduce myself, here is my definition of Autism.
A definition for Autism will depend on how you view things, I see it as a key aspect of my humanity, my psyche.
I am confident in what I have written above, but what follows is liable to change as I change as a person.
A facet of autism is that it separates me from people without it, that the world is not made for me, that I need assistance with getting by. Social Misunderstandings and hairs-that-break-the-camels-individual-backs make life hard for me.
More specific to who I am at this moment, I am ambivalent about comics like Burgess’s most famous online work, Understanding The Spectrum, I prefer their comics that are influenced by Raina Telgemeier, but are about different parts of Autism, not an explainer on an overly ambitious scale or separates it from Neurotypicality.
Or... for people who don't read comics because they like comics... come to think of it.
Anyway. More often, I enjoy an omnivorous taste in comics.
So if you think I’ve talked your ear off this time…
