I made an 8 page comic about my✨AUTISTIC JOY✨for #ASDComicTakeover in celebration of #AutismAcceptanceMonth! There are several factors that make up Autistic Joy for me: Understanding, Support, and Safe Surroundings. Each comes with its own moments to celebrate. [1/5]

@upandoutcomic drew this back when I buzzed my hair and doubted my adorableness bc of family!! gotta double down on the cute!!

nevermind

And here is my final page! I hope you enjoyed reading this comic and learning about the affirming experiences of autistic joy. Please go check out #ASDComicTakeover and #AutismAcceptanceMonth to read the amazing contributions of other autistic voices! [5/5]

....Anyways I would like to post a little appreciation for Gordon Hammond, an Emmy award winning character designer who worked on FOP in its formative seasons. His other credits include Spongebob, Big City Greens, Harvey Beaks, the Powerpuff girls, the list goes on.

First, we have 🧠UNDERSTANDING🧠or Insight! There is so much power in knowing what makes me happy. [2/5]

Next, there's 🙌SUPPORT🙌! This comes from everyone else in my life who has lifted me up and allowed me to discover my happiest self! [3/5]

Last, we have 🏡SAFE SURROUNDINGS🏡, which includes physical environments that are kind to my senses, and social environments where I feel safe participating. [4/5]

I'm currently in physical therapy for my hand and elbow issues. I drew my own quick version of my exercise sheets so i can follow along easier. Y'all, I recommend a foam roller to anyone who works at a desk.

Unexpectedly lost my darling angel pup today to cancer. She stayed with my parents when I went off to school and I cherished every moment I spent with her, coming home for holiday visits and hikes and couch cuddles. She was so smart, sweet, and beloved by everyone she met.

Bip got me in trouble at the airport today.
