Comics and art about disability and mental illness

[grub-muncher]

Hi welcome to my blog :] 👋

My names is Leo and I like to create comics, specifically about mental illness, disability and lgbtq+

I aim to release 1 comic every 2 weeks

My pronouns are she/he/they, I identify as non binary and trans 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

I’m also bisexual and am somewhere on the aromantic spectrum 🩷💜💙

I am disabled and mentally ill

I am currently in the process of getting diagnosed with schizophrenia and have autism and use aac part time to help me communicate

Other than comics I might also make aac emojis and illustrations

I’m all about inclusion so I’ll try and make my comics as accessible as possible by adding alt captions and representing a variety of people, however I do make mistakes sometimes so feel free to correct me if my information is incorrect or out of date

Feel free to send in asks if you have requests for a comic you’d like to see

I hope you enjoy my comics, thanks for reading 🩷

First couple art fight attacks!

Hello! I saw that you use your ACC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) for Autism and Schizophrenia, and I was wondering if I'm allowed to use those apps for my STPD (Schizotypal Personality Disorder) and BIF (Borderline Intellectual Functioning). Since I have trouble communicating my emotions or needs. Any advice??

Anyone can use AAC if they thinks it could help them. Some advice I’d give would be to practice common/important phrases, Espresso english has 100 common english phrases. Another piece of advice I’d give is to customize it by adding more personalized vocabulary and adding AAC symbols you like, to help make your AAC better fit for you. Some popular blogs that do AAC symbols are @stellas--symbols and @cytochrome-symbolz as well as the AACIL website. The current app I use is weave chat which I really like however it is kind of annoying to edit and has a max number of custom symbols you can upload.

Stop saying…

“Psychotic/Schizophrenic” when you mean: unpredictable, unrestrained, unreal, etc.

“Bipolar” when you mean: polarized, scattered, fickle, unstable, etc.

“Delusional” when you mean: unrealistic, unreasonable, close-minded, stubborn, etc.

“[insert “R” slur in relation to intellectual disabilities]” when you mean: unreasonable, ridiculous, scatterbrained, immature, etc.

“OCD” when you mean: particular, neat, overbearing, etc.

“Narcissistic” when you mean selfish, abusive, manipulative, etc.

Note: I’m NOT saying that these are synonymous. This is also not an exhaustive list.

Religious delusions aren’t real (just a term used to persecute those with non Christian religions really) but still a very good post!

Hi, religious delusions have definitely been used to discriminate against non-christians, and has come under quite a bit of controversy recently, however a lot of psychotic and schizophrenic people relate to the term a feel that it accurately describes their experience. Delusions can 100% have religious themes especially considering how important religion can be for many people, however it’s hard to distinguish religious delusions from genuine religious beliefs and people should never accuse someone of having religious delusions purely because they don’t have Christian beliefs. Some ways to tell religious beliefs from religious delusions include, if the belief is significantly different from their normal religious belief (i.e a hellenic polytheist suddenly believing in Christianity), if the belief is all-consuming and causes the person to self isolate and causes significant stress then it may be a delusions rather than a belief, delusions may also come with other symptoms such as depression, mania, disorganized behavior and hallucinations that wouldn’t be present in a non-delusional person

I think people would be less suicidal if they were allowed to talk about being suicidal without risk of being sent to the Torture Dungeon

[grub-muncher]

This is not an extensive list of types of delusions, these are only a few common types of delusions, there are other less common types of delusions which are not mentioned in this comic

[grub-muncher]

Would you ever make a comic about types of parasomnia (a category of sleep disorders) I just never see anyone talk about these :(

Sure I’ll make a comic about that in the future, I’ll add it to my list of upcoming comics

Art inspired by the plushie dreadful’s schizophrenia bunny

I recently learnt that they had some controversy due to how they portrayed mental illnesses so I wanted to make it clear that I don’t support their business I just thought the bunny design was cute
