Autie-biographical Comics

I understand the work processes inside, and backwards. Now I spent most of my time explaining basic processes to people who've been working at my job for 5 years but apparently never used their phone once in all those years.

Or explaining the rules of the handbook to my boss, my bosses boss, or the director of the entire call center. But when I bring up that I want a promotion suddenly I don't have the experience despite teaching my supervisor how to do his job.

Be you may your autism bring you joy

That's very true. I look at my brother and understand that. He's the smartest guy I know, and was pretty successful, until autistic burnout hit him, and he's been in recovery for years

We autistics like things staying predictable, so changing things is a good way of making us have a bad day. I've been going through a lot of changes lately, and I can tell you it has not been fun.

You have no idea how much I appreciate this.

I often have about 4 weeks of comics scheduled, and right now, even though comics are still posting, I am taking a bit of a break (I still check comments and messages though)

My baby niece has started rock-stimming like me!

Sniff…I’m so proud!

That's adorable!

I started rock stimming by mimicking my sister when I was around 4. I highly suspect she's autistic (her daughter recently got diagnosed) but there's no way of convincing her of that!

I freaking love baking! I've been baking since I was a child.

Why even have Disability Pride Month? For a lot of reasons, actually.

Thank you. These sorts of messages mean a lot to me. It's so easy to feel like my work is getting lost in the algorithm, never to reach a single soul, but these sorts of messages help remind me that there are people out there seeing, and enjoying my work.

This is actually common with autistics. Our brains develop differently, so different parts of our brains mature at different paces.

This is how you get autistics who, at the age of 10, read at a high school level, but still act like they're 5.
