@carolvorders Thank you for sharing. So often we find others that have been limited by the comments, action (or non-action), through choice or otherwise of others. I wish to belive now (after a late ASC diagnosis at 40yrs) that we are more what others first perceived. So I paint too :)
@TheoPaphitis @thebodycoach Charities Resources for Autism, SANE and the Samaritans. They have supported me and thousands of others. They have always encourage me to carry through depression and so I paint.
For my new followers.I was diagnosed ASD last year following many, many depressive episodes. I paint mainly with my fingers and sponges (I have learnt myself) to use brushes.I have no training in art other than school. Much of what I do is from memory or what I dream.
I have been told to quit painting. I am ".. selfish and crazy" . My paintings are ".. primative, naive and crude" and it is a waste of time. I won't and can't. I stopped painting and drawing for 22 years because I listened to others.
