Just here to post art and ramble about games, tv and anime.
work meeting today was on mental health and like none of them know(as far as I KNOW) that I have autism but I am never going to share that with them bc I doubt they will be nice about it. Just a mask I gotta wear to survive :')
BF visits next week and I'm excited bc its been 2 Months since his last visit. We're going to go to some escape rooms and stuff~
Trying new stuff with my art sorta. This hurt my hand a lot, but I found CSP's fill lasso tool which speeded things up considerably!
Ugh, I deleted my last post bc you know what. My ex-coworker doesn't deserve that attention.
I learned a valuable lesson not to add current coworkers to fbook after that. Some ppl in the meat space really looking for a reason to hate on the autistic person after they bully them ¯\_(シ)_/¯
One of these girls recently messages a mutual to bitch about those posts recently and I was like "Tell the idiot it was never about her and to get over it."
That girl viciously bullied me but ya know, I'm the bad guy for vague venting about my bf at the time, like??? make it make sense.
I remember, long ago, at a job I had in my mid-20s. I made some fbook posts, vague, but my coworkers thought it was about them... It was never about them. Truth was I was venting about my ex(bf at the time).
Wild.
I am at work trying to think how I want to color this. Like if I want to experinent or just do what I normally do
Redrawing an old character(had her before 2003, but earliest art I have of her left is 2003)

Old art of her. She has some interesting colors I'm 100% going to reuse but might use it differently.

Not all, but some people with autism have a hard time with boundaries.
For me I won't tell you that you crossed them but I will laugh awkwardly or just laugh. This is a panic response that some have misread as me having fun, when it was very much the opposite.
Before and after editing.
Her birthday is on the 24th, so I'm going to do one for her and she has no idea. I got a plan.
Friend: Gpose me please! Make me look pretty.
I don't think she expected the 34 images she has to pick from lmao
I can eat relatively normal now and I am eating crunchy things first, I missed this. cronch cronch cronch
I put them together in color groups then split them as 1 color per group and then eat the odd ones and then eat one group at a time.

This is a relatively more decent website to learn about #autism than Autism Speaks.
A couple funny things I did as a kid, and sometimes still do, is arrange colorful candy by their color and eat them in a specific order. IF THIS WASN'T THE BIGGEST RED FLAG I HAD AUTISM IDK WHAT.
That and the fact that I do a metric F-ton of non-verbal communication.
I'm #actuallyautistic and I will always try my best to educate that we are all different. We deserve more patience and understanding. So many time not only I, but other autistic ppl I've witnessed get misunderstood. Times I have almost lost my job due to my monotone way of talking.
She is extremely verbal. I do a lot of "non-verbal" motions to get my point across.
She is articulate with her words. I am an english disaster.
Although we both have autism, we are different in our autism but are both considered "Level 1 Autism."
Separate post for this.
My sister and I were both diagnosed with autism.
She was a straight A student, but her overstimulation moments got violent.
I was a "C is a passing grade" student, couldn't sit still and went literally MUTE when overstimulated.
Of course I'm better at controlling my emotional outbursts and stuff thanks to therapy. I can recognize when I'm starting to spiral and step away.
I do want to say that it is a >*Spectrum*< so not every autistic person is the same. We all have our quirks and differences from slightly to extreme.
I was diagnosed in November 2022 with Autism, and its helped me get the help both mentally and physically that I need.
Of course I still hear negative things in my life that I have to ignore.
It's Autism Month, and I just want to remind people:
Autism Speaks and the puzzle piece is not actually supportive of Autistic individuals. Do not support them.
Happy 30th Birthday to my favourite Final Fantasy game:
Final Fantasy VI.
I love this game like nothing else you have no idea.
I've been watching this youtube video that is 10min long for the last 3 hours because I keep pausing it to do something else in another tab to stop that to move to another tab, to stop that to move to discord, to stop that to go back to the video.... hElp
Having ADHD, Autism, Depression and Anxiety at the same time is a wild ride of emotions. I don't wish it on anyone :')
We are also delving into assertiveness and maintaining boundaries with others. Too many ppl walking over me and its taken a toll on my mental health.
