brb i gotta pace

people generally say it's because "detection and diagnosis have gotten better!" but also consider: the world has just gotten more hostile and disabling to autistics

Closed them temporarily for artfight, but now I'm back to asking to draw you some silly little pictures!!

please remember us when talking about neurodiversity. ocd, dyslexia, dyscaculia, personality disorders, tourettes, intellectual disabilities, schizo-spec disorders, etc. all fall under neurodiversity.

please stop saying neurodivergent when you mean "autism and adhd."

Thanks to your help, I've been able to afford a consultation appointment with GenderGP and be able to afford signing up for their services! There's still a long way to go but I finally feel like transitioning could be close for me!

I had the consultation appointment today and it was really a lot of help. I got to talk about all my issues and get advice on where to go next, and it really looks like they agree I'm trans and that I may go on HRT soon :)

And yes, I mean Those TM people. Middle schoolers who growl and bark and naruto run in the halls. Thirtysomethings who live with their parents. Furries. Fourteen-year-olds who identify as stargender and use neopronouns. Picky eaters. Adults in fandoms. People who talk weird. People who dress weird.

Because autistic people shouldn't have to disclose a medical diagnosis to you to avoid being mocked and ostracized for stuff that, at absolute worst, is annoying. Ruthlessly deriding people for this stuff then tacking on a "oh, but it's okay if they're autistic" does absolutely nothing to help autistic people! Especially when undiagnosed autistic people exist.

hey, this isn't super urgent, but I thought I'd give it a shot- hi, i'm a transmasc artist who'd really like to start medically transitioning, and I'd appreciate any and all financial support you can spare!!

additionally, I have open commissions if you'd rather buy something instead;
