#nonbinary autistics

[xolopilli-art]

Throughout #autgust I will be posting portraits of other Autistic People of Color to celebrate the diversity of autistics and challenge the way society has engrained in us to see autism.

"You don't look autistic."

Yes I do.

Here's Part 1... Everyone in this^ post is a nonbinary autistic person of color. These are volunteers.

Enjoy!

Shout out to the feminine autistics

To the autistic girls, including the transgender ones

To the ones who love swishy skirts, pretty hair clips, ribbons, and bows

To the ones who apply makeup, just for fun, or as a form of art

To the femmes and demigirls and other nonbinary people with a feminine side

To the ones who love pink and/or purple

To those who obsessively hunt for a sensory-friendly type of lace to wear and love

To the ones who sleep with cute stuffed animals

To the autistic women seeking the best life possible for them

To the autistics who define and redefine what femininity means to them

Your autism does not negate your gender or your favorite things. Autism spans all genders and is not exclusively manly or masculine. It is valid to be autistic and girly at the same time.
