Autism is talked about quite often, but very rarely is it portrayed in media, and even more rarely do we see it explained properly. That's where this amazing comics creator known as AspiGurl comes in. She creates funny, quirky, and sweet comics about her life and the struggles she runs into as an autistic girl. We get to read the comics and better understand from the view of a person with the developmental disorder.
The comics are colorful and have unexpected endings. The illustrations will probably make you laugh and relate many times. It's interesting to see the perspective of someone who sees social events, situations, and everyday life from a different perspective.

People with Aspergers have emotions, they're just are not very good at being able to analyse and deal with them in an 'appropriate'* manner. I call it my emotional blindness * Regarding 'appropriate', refer to 'normal' people.

The fact that we sometimes don't show our feelings does not mean we don't have feelings.
Aspigurl told us more about when and why she started creating these comics: "I had the idea for the comic back in 2018. It was almost April and I was kind of dreading the usual ableist posts that we always see around that time for Autism Awareness Month. My husband wtframecomics, who illustrates the comic, and I decided to post a comic each day of that April and we just kept making them!"

@imposter autistic people like to have a routine, which includes eating/doing a lot of the same things. Even though it may seem unnatural to some people, like yourself, it's normal to people who are autistic(like me). I usually have a burrito.

I know this because I had a friend who had autism. Sometimes people with Autism like to make a process every day so what she might have is her process for breakfast is making toast with Jam. And that's sometimes the reason why they have the same thing every day.

She also told us what motivated her to keep creating these comics: "One of the biggest motivations for making the comic is to give other autistic people content to relate to and maybe even illustrations that might help explain and express their lived experiences (same for non-autistics: it can help them have another point of view on autism.)"

Intense sensitivity to sound is a common autism symptom...
Load More Replies...On her website, Aspigurl describes herself as "a comic putting forward the voice of autistic people through anecdotes or reflections from everyday life. As there are as many autisms as there are autistic people, it seemed important to us to put forward this diversity by also receiving comic suggestions from autistic readers."

Nah, I don't think it's quite the same. I have autism as well and in situations like this I just about want to stab myself in the ear canal. I've had really bad panic attacks, lashed out and hit someone, and in one extreme situation bit down on my arm until it bled because there was a noise that bothered me. (Also, it's generally considered a pretty big no-no to say things like this. I don't think you meant it this way but it's pretty ableist and has been used to silence and mock people with disabilities by basically saying they're either making it up or just weak for not being able to "handle it".)

This jab at Sia is one opinion. I find it unrealistic to believe that anyone, whether Autistic or not is going to be able to represent everyone's traits. The boy in Parenthood differs from the boy in Atypical, Sheldon and Amy could not be further from each other and yet awwwwwwwww. Brick from The Middle and his whispering and quirks are nothing like Forrest Gump. I watched Radio the other week again, after years, and while years ago I cried and loved it so much, it was through better understanding of the world now that it was even more of a next level story. While I have only seen the preview of Sias so far, I think that any movie or tv show with a character that has something different than others going on is a lesson in acceptance, and understanding. 30 years ago the characters portrayed in shows now would have most often been bullied, the object of ridicule, the strange character that everyone fears or torments...now they are the show, now we are better equipped for understanding.
Dalton Dickerhoof 4 years ago
True, no one can represent all of autism. It is a spectrum, as the name suggests. However, when actual autistic people want to help you, let them. I am autistic, and there are many good examples of Autistics in media. Dr. Shaun Murphy, Billy from the latest power rangers, and others. The key is representation and differentiating. You have to let your audience see the struggles, but also the joys. Try to be as ranged as possible. There is one technique i have unfortunately not seen as of yet, which is to include multiple characters on the spectrum, in order to show contrast between the spectrum. And let actual autistics help. We have a voice, let us use it. It is representation like this that embodies the negative stigma autism often carries. Like anything, there are ups and downs. Also, i have my own graphic novel available on amazon about autism called Imagination Team.

Just remember everyone is different. :) Also people might share one trait with the stereotype, but that doesn't mean they share them all.

The "feeling" part is more how I feel when the dentist sticks the needle into my gums (because I don't like needles, but I still get vaccine injections or whatever else when necessary), but then after that, the rest of the procedure is just whatever.

If you are wondering what it means, the person in green sees the spider as a tiny spider, the cat sees it as a snack, and the artist sees it as a terrifying monster (I would too).

This reminds me of when I was six. All I wanted was griffin, (I was very different from my friends) so when my dad took to me to the pet store. I asked the pet store person where the griffins were. She told me they did not exist. I cried, I ended up getting my first fish that day.

I've found that a good way to cope with this, while still being able to pet your fuzzy friends, is to simply lint roll your face. (this isn't a joke, I'm autistic (high functioning though) and I do this)

I have a friend that does two bowls one with milk one with cereal, she puts the spoon of cereal into the milk for just a moment and then eats it, that way the cereal is never soggy its just milked as it is used, it is kind of genius really, soggy froot loops are squishy weirdness.

It's funny because I rather have my hair at my neck and out of my face or I'll have bangs but I'll have twist bangs but they must be above my eyebrows because of my sensory disorder.

I can not cope with hair on my ears. Even when it is down, I Aran get my hair and use pins to avoid that feeling.

I hate letting my hair down for long periods of time. Even at parties I would last probably an hour before I just have to put it up ... away from my face, ears or neck.

This is true. People go on and on about anti-maskers, but in reality, some people just struggle with these more than most n euro typical realize. This is coming from an autistic.

Her volume has to match the brightness of the light so when he turns up the light she speaks louder. When he turns it down she lowers her voice. Then he's messing with her and dimming the light up and down so she talks loud off and on

They are noise cancelling headphones, they help reduce back ground noise. Aural sensitivity is a trait of autistics.

I think they are noise canceling headphones to lessen the amount of stimuli entering the brain of the person. Autistic people often are more sensitive for one or more senses, like sounds for example. Wearing headphones to dampen the sounds of the surroundings can help with making everything less overwhelming. I have autism as well, and my hearing is also very sensitive. Ever since I got noice cancelling headphones, using public transit is less overwhelming, and they also help a lot with concentrating on studying. I don't really understand why you got downvoted btw, I think that you asked an honost question, and I hope my answer makes things a bit more clear :)
