Hi! I am overwhelmed and touched to get such a positive reaction to this. And a sticky too? It’s really beyond what I expected. Thank you!! !
You all are making my head spin, talking about publishing, and building bridges. None of that ever crossed my mind, it was just an attempt to say “this is who I am” in an informative but fun way. It might also surprise you to know I’ve barely picked up a pencil to draw in 20 years or so. Why'd I do it now? I was thinking about special interests, and what mine could possibly be, and even though it had been a long while, my cartoons are what came to mind. I guess when you learn such an important thing about yourself as AS, you start to see yourself and your interests in a whole new light.
I also want to say this: Anyone could, and should, do what I did. That is, to tell your story, your way. My talent is doodling, maybe yours is songwriting, or painting, or whatever. (If it’s washing machines, I don’t know what to tell you. ) But whatever you can do to educate others about AS with your own voice, you will help break down barriers and promote understanding. We can all be advocates.
Hugs to all!! !
