Q: As a creative on the autism spectrum, what’s something you would like others to know?
Something I want people to understand is that there isn’t one way to be, look, or “seem” autistic. The common view of autism doesn’t consider that autistic people come from every walk of life. I’m a queer physically disabled trans autistic person, and all of these aspects of myself influence how I experience the world and how I utilize my creativity. I draw people who aren’t often represented in art. This is me. This is one example of what autism looks like. I also use art and design as a way to advocate for some of my passions, such as autism pride, trans pride, Black Lives Matter, and queer disabled pride.
