By the way, I understand if you don't do this because it seems like you make pieces that are very personal to you and related to your experiences as an autistic person but umm, I was wondering if you do commissions
Again, if not that's obviously totally fine. Was just wondering
While I don't do commissions, I'm always open to suggestions with the understanding that I may say no

Thank you so much for your comics. Going to show my mum the "time to leave" one later because that's something I've been trying to explain for years but just never had the words for.
Now you don't have to wait until you're 40 to have that lightbulb moment! Glad I could help 😊
Happy Autistic Pride Day from a proud autistic!
June 18th marks Autistic Pride Day, made by autistic people for autistic people. It's important to be proud of who you are.
Whether autism helps or hinders you, it's a part of you. For me, it does both, and I accept that. I keep going on days when I can, and rest on days when I can't, and I feel no shame for that. Self-accommodation is so incredibly important.
Remember to take a break when you can. Remember to love yourself. Remember to be proud of yourself.
Children mimic what they see. If they're taught that boundaries are something to get upset about, they'll get upset about boundaries. This is something that I've had to unlearn.

Just wondering, what are your experiences with coeliac diagnosis as an autistic person? Just wondering in terms of like sensory issues and food changes and all like that.
Personally, my safe foods aren't anything with a lot of wheat or barley (and I don't even know what rye is) because I feel so ill after eating them that my brain doesn't register them as "safe". But most of my safe foods are a "may contain gluten" thing so I think that's what my main issue would be in terms of making adjustments. Also have ADHD and chronic illnesses so making food from scratch is hard to even get the momentum for, let alone actually finish to completion. Though considering I know for a fact that gluten free pancakes don't make me feel sick after unlike most foods, that might act as an incentive to make them. So, just wondering how the transition went in your case?
And as for the hoping it's quick to get testing, thanks I hope I get seen soon too. But between NHS waiting lists and the fact i need testing for loads of other stuff too (potential bleeding disorder and possible nerve issues in right foot), I doubt it.
For me, I do bake and cook from scratch a lot, and I'm finding that old comfort foods that I used to make are now weird and different, so I'm sad about that. One is this super simple cake called Wacky Cake, and it's supposed to be all soft, and squishy, but with gluten free flour it's grainy and crumbly.
Aside from stuff like that, cutting gluten out has been going well. Found good quality gluten free pasta, and frozen pizza, and lots of restaurants where I am are accommodating, but when it comes to my own cooking and baking, it just feels like some foods I just can't have the same again, and it really makes me sad. I'll just have to find new comfort foods.
My reaction to gluten was very similar to GERD, so that's what I was originally diagnosed with. The symptoms I got I just chalked up to that. I'd eat, feel sick, get heart burn, and shrug, thinking "Welp, that's just my GERD." That's why foods chock full of gluten weren't put on the 'unsafe' list.
I've heard about how slow the NHS can be. I've got a bunch of medical stuff coming up. Here's hoping things go well for both of us.

happy pride
Saw your post about celiacs. Just wanted to mention:
-Better Batter AP flour is my current preference. It's a good substitute in recipes that call for wheat flour, although it's rather expensive. Unsure if they ship outside of USA.
-King Arthur GF flour has this weird gritty/sandy texture... I'm not a fan of it. The bag says not to use it for yeasted recipes.
-The Loopy Whisk has the best sandwich bread recipe so far. Nearly all the website's recipes for GF bread require psyllium husk. Better Batter works great for the sandwich bread!
Good to know! I basically have easy access to one brand of gluten free flour, which seems to be...okay. I'm planning on making my own blend though the next time I'm able to get the ingredients. Hurray for not having a car or license! Makes travel a bit more difficult.
I've also seen a lot of recipes calling for psyllium husk, or psyllium husk powder. I don't even know what that is. I should probably look it up.
Hiiii! Your comics are amazing and reading them is making me feel so much better after someone was ableist to me, thanks for existing
Awww! Thank you!
I'm sorry that happened to you. I get frustrated with how common ableism is, and not just from people who want to hurt us, but just casual ableism that NTs and/or ablebodied people don't even see, or recognize as ableism.
Sending good vibes your way!
When I used to ask "When are we leaving?" I always got "Not yet," which was frustrating because I didn't want to leave, I just wanted to know how much more time I had left, but I was a kid, and didn't know how to properly word things.
Thank you to everyone who's bought a copy of my book! I appreciate every single one of you, and hope you enjoy it!

For me, learning I was autistic was the moment I started relearning my limits, and boundaries. I learned to accommodate myself, and found that it helped me endure the outside world more.
Yes, autism may explain bad behaviour, but it doesn't excuse it. If I hurt someone, it's on me to apologize. No going "I'm literally neurodivergent and a minor."
Having support is so fundamental to one's life. I'm lucky to have the support I do, and try to never take it for granted.
Happy pride month
Happy Pride!
Do you have any favourite characters who are both queer and autistic?
For me, Suzanne/Crazy Eyes from Orange is the New Black comes to mind. She's not confirmed to be autistic, but we're not really told what she has and she does show a lot of autistic traits, and from what I can remember she's a lesbian (she's at least WLW in some way)
Probably Entrapta from She-Ra the Princesses of Power (canonically autistic and bisexual)

Constant aches I can handle. The pains from just living in this body are in the background for me. It's other pains that send me overboard.
