What are your thoughts on AI art programs? I think they are useful tools that are sadly easy to misuse. like this, i’m new to digital art but i did my best, put the result through the ai with a description and target style and it elevated my work.

Do autistic kids "grow out" of their autism? Why does it sometimes seem like there are so few autistic adults?

For Autism Acceptance Month, I covered this topic in this comic to help explain this disconnect! YouTube | TikTok | Instagram | Twitter

For some reason tumblr won’t let me leave a comment but this deserves to be reblogged anyway.

One thing that drives me nuts is when parents make autism seem like a bigger deal than it is. My bf of almost 8 years has autism and though he would never use it as an excuse I think he believes he is incapable of certain things because of how his mom always “protected” him from things he found difficult. He is very high functioning to. The way I like to describe his autism is you wouldn’t know if you weren’t told but being told does explain a few things. But for example he is 22 and doesn’t know how to make his own appointment because he doesn’t know how to talk on the phone. He wouldn’t even call his own uncle for job advice and went through his dad instead. And it is all because his mom never let him figure things out for himself.
