My son Maxim (aged 4) loves anything medical. "Let's draw a brain and dreams daddy". Daddy top of page. Maxim's work bottom of page. Love the contrast not sure what it shows?@sbaroncohen #autistic #ASD
@scrappapertiger Thank you for sharing. Your drawings are great and really resonate. I have included one of mine too. I call it shutdown. I completed it this morning. Andrew. #ActuallyAutistic
I can't live in silence, I can't live in fear. An autistic adult. Andrew @Telegraph #autism #autistic
@NatashaSmasha @commaficionado Thank you so much for sharing. I have painted what a shutdown looks like for me...The difficulty trying to understand autism growing up as a child and a teenager is beyond comprehension.
'Shuting down'. The power of my inner voice is far greater than the will of others to silence it by humiliating me. I can't sit in silence anymore.Imagine what it feels for a child who does not understand growing up autistic. #Autism #autistic #samaritans #ASD #teachertwitter
Visually a shutdown or meltdown for me. How difficult and scarry it is as a child or teenager not knowing what is going on or understanding and not being to verbalise it to anybody @commaficionado @CarrieGrant1 #autism #autistic #teachertwitter #ASD
I really miss this gopher and duck from my childhood. #childrenstv
This is not a sad thread. I hope it may inspire others or remind us that even though we may say we are OK, this truly might not be the case. Sometimes we might struggle to verbalise or demonstrate how we truly feel to others and that we just need somebody to be there. #samaritans
@CharitySANE Wow, thank you for sharing. I have some if you want too that I painted during my last depressive episode this year when things got too much for me.
