Autie-biographical Comics

March 31st is Trans Day of Visibility! Let's enjoy this punny comic while also celebrating the trans community!

I'm pretty sensitive when it comes to temperatures, so to be comfortable I have to make sure absolutely everything is perfect. Warm enough on certain parts of me, and cool enough on the other parts.

If I've put something in my schedule it's solidly in there. I can't just move it around, even if no one but me is affected by it.

Having to wait a long time while in short-term waiting is so exhausting. I have trouble not getting angry at people who unintentionally put me in that state.

Those who learn from history are doomed to watch people who didn't learn from history repeat it.

Just being an autistic self advocate online makes you a target to these sorts of people. Heaven forbid we speak for ourselves and steal their thunder.

While dyspraxia affects my balance it also affects my fine motor skills as well.

It's only due to 35 years of practice that I can draw as well as I can. I see absolutely stunning art done by people 2 decades younger than me and wonder if I could've been that good if I just didn't have dyspraxia.

The number of times I've had to look up acronyms or slang people have sent to me via text! I'd chalk it up to me just getting old but some of the people sending these texts are older than me! I guess I'm just out of the loop.

I swear, my short term memory gets shorter the older I get.

One issue I have with autism being called a superpower is that people will take that and use it as a reason to not accommodate us.

If you see your autism as a superpower that's awesome! I don't want you to change just because other people misuse your views.

I see nothing wrong with autistic people seeing their own autism as a superpower. I don't see mine as a superpower, but I don't see it as a bad thing either. It's just a neutral thing to me. That doesn't mean I can't be proud of it though.

It is not the job of disabled people to educate others on their disability. If you have questions, the internet exists and has swaths of information.

Autism is not my enemy. It's a part of me. Fighting against it is fighting against myself. Accommodating for it is accommodating for myself.

Valentine's Day should be about celebrating the love between you and those who make you happy stim!

Spouse, friend, family member. Anyone you love!

There are so many people in my life who make me happy stim! What about you?

After 15 years of being together my partner and I have learned that so much of love and romance isn't grand gestures. It's about working together, as equals, to better each other's lives as much as possible.

Too often autistic people are told they can't be autistic simply because they don't fit the autistic stereotype. There's a reason it's called a spectrum!

I never understood the incorrect stereotype that autistics didn't understand humour, when my autistic dad is the one who shaped my sense of humour.
