When I made this comic I had zero idea what dyspraxia, let alone that I had it. It's so nice to have an answer to my clumsiness now.

Measles and mumps were eradicated in many countries, but are now making a comeback. Thanks anti-vaxxers! To prevent your child from getting something that's highly genetic, and not a threat to your child's health, you've made this happen! Congrats...

With more children getting diagnosed as autistic there's more and more parents realizing that they're also autistic. It's a beautiful thing.

In the past when I lost one hyperfixation another would immediately come along. This hasn't happened recently, and it's astounding how much stuff I can get done! That said I'm also more prone to depression.
Women, AFAB folx and POCs are statistically less likely to be diagnosed as autistic. This not only means that they have a harder time getting a diagnosis, but they're also less likely to be believed by the general public.
This is so harmful, and needs to stop!

Masking isn't a manipulation tactic, it's a shield, and one that I hope I can put down for good some day.

Emotional Exhaustion is exhausting. Things such a talking, or even being in the presence of someone else is too much.

I feel that imposter syndrome within the autistic community is so common. We're constantly told "you don't look autistic" that sometimes we believe it. It's ok though. You're not alone in feeling this. Don't listen to those doubts! Embrace your autistic self!

April is Autism Acceptance month! You want to be accepting? You want to be supportive? Be accommodating.
People will say they accept autism, and then berate us for being autistic. Don’t tell us you accept us when you regularly punish us for being ourselves.

Happy Autism Acceptance month! Friendly reminder that Autism Speaks is no friend to autistic people!
