Description Yep, JIC you didn’t know, I’m on the Spectrum (=

I think it’s already been 15 years since I was first officially diagnosed with an ASD.
And being #autismawarenessday , I also wanted to celebrate it with this little sketch, which illustrates some of the general traits I share:

I’ve struggled to socialise, still to this day. I’ve gotten better with making friends now though. 🫂

The spearheads of my biggest interests have been: Thomas the Tank Engine, LEGO, Doctor Who, The Olympics/Paralympics, Photography and Graphic Design. ❤️💙

My comfort activity is drawing, and making digital designs is something I’m fixated on pretty much everyday, work-wise. ✍️🎨

Listening to soft rock music, especially classics from the 80s/90s is also my personal favourite and super uplifting - LOVE guitar, synth & drums 💖🎸 🥁 🎹

+Ooh, not sure if you do the same, but I always picture these cool animations in my head whenever I listen to certain songs.

I’ve always felt a deep connection to nature, specifically with the wind. Can’t describe it, but I tend to feel one with it. 🍃

I’m a serious perfectionist… like for this sketch which took longer to finish than hoped 😐
Also like to keep everything tidy and sort things out 👍

I hate last-minute plan changes; They don’t end up being too bad, but still they just suck. 

Being touched - like suddenly poked = No >

Finally, I like wearing comfy clothing, and repeating quotes from films/TV shows - “I cannot say” (Benoit Blanc, Knives Out) 🗣️

So yep. I’m sorry I’m not sure if I’ve explained or illustrated in good detail 3=\

For a while I wanted to share and express what it’s like for me as an Aspie.

And I think it’s awesome, for any autistic person, to have the most wonderful insight to the world around you, and having a fixated interest that makes you You, and to use as your own strength!

And from what I’ve learned, you help make people you know & who care about you happier (=

Happy Autism Awareness Day! 🌈🌟💙
