Sensory: Life on the Spectrum: An Autistic Comics Anthology

Product Information

I understand this was more of a zine that got traditionally published than a full fledged comic anthology, but there are still some things that would've taken almost no effort to fix and would've made my experience reading this much better. David Haller's spot in the relevant listicle mainly talks about him having DID and this other discussion I found discusses the possibility of terminology mixup so I'm not sure whether he should be included or not? Sensory: Life on the Spectrum contains illustrated explorations of everything from life pre-diagnosis to tips on how to explain autism to someone who doesn't have it, to suggestions for how to soothe yourself when you're feeling overstimulated.

Ollerton tells stories that convey an emotional truth to raise awareness of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and neurodiversity. Among the essential skills is the ability to merge cells, a useful technique to improve the presentation of information. If you have not spent long periods of time around different autistic people, you should just not comment.About half of these were about the authors telling their experiences being autistic, and the other half were textbook stuff: what's sensory overload? Of course, people vary widely, and each autistic person lives with an individual makeup and must find their own best self-care.

Autistic people often process information differently from non-autistic people, for example sounds and smells may be more (or less) intense. From what I can tell for Reed Richards it's moreso been skirted that he might be autistic but it hasn't actually been confirmed, though for the purposes of my survey he's going to be included. For example, repetitive self-stimulation (“stimming”), intense focus on a special interest like maps or trains, communication issues, sensitivity to stimuli, and mood variations can often be understood and accommodated in the non-autistic world. COMICS ARE GREAT: Good triumphing over evil, stories which span the entirety of time and space and, of course, the pun-tastic dialogue – which is awesome when spoken in speech bubble, but will make people groan when said in real life!

There's mini comics from 40 autistic creators, and I really loved most of them - some of them I even recognized from seeing them online at some point.

It is people such as you that are the reason I’m isolated from society as you expect too much from that which you do not understand.It might be useful to bring intelligence (as something that has a normal distribution to it) as a different example.

There is a dearth of literature by and for autistic people, and this fills a gap in a refreshing and much needed manner. While learning how witches were shunned and silenced by society, she feels similarly outcast herself.My normal way of interacting might also be hard to get, if you have problems interpreting tones, non-verbal cues, small gestures, fine tuned humour, innuendo and double entendre.
