Damn that's rather good! Thanks for posting this! I can certainly closely relate to the process and the themes. I'm going to keep this handy, as last time I tried to communicate this very concept to someone in the medical profession, it was twisted into something very negative. I was made to feel that the only reasons for the experience were negative.
 
It was a great autism comic to read, this story was also beautiful.

Thanks for the recomendation, back in the day.
 
Yip, these are good for young people discovering they are different.

Comics about superheroes tackle those who don't disclose their diagnosis and are often left out of history books or books are written as twisted biography. Superheroes take on villains and do things somewhat differently.

The one day I was so depressed at watching behind the scenes.... because the actor is fake, the whole thing is dressed up, they create this perfect image, take the co-morbid out and this is why no one can relate to tv
 
When you learn about society and hypocrisy you open your mind and start to read and understand things very differently...I love history and I read between the lines at understanding and drawing my own conclusions.
as a young girl whenever I was different my friends in high school would stare at me, the isolation grew. I was young and can say my experience since then is very different. I know know when and how to navigate my mask better.

Many music stars left to live in the USA due to finances during industrial revolution. Some of those families were so poor and there was one account of family living on a social welfare check and he describes how it drove him to reach for success.
Unfortunately national geographic is another example of liberal free thinking people who had to have ideals 'owned' under a country or dogma that wants to know you know that can get benefit out of you, all countries do this.

No I don't need a cure, NT people need to understand more about those of us who are animals without intellect.
If you need a diagnosis then I suppose some do.
When I was rewiring Alice in Wonderland it's to help abuse or ABA victims learn to express themselves to help.
Some of us don't say it blatantly like I have autism or I'm an artisan....we leave subtle clues to divergent to pick it up. Why because not so long ago you could be institutionalised, have metal cap drilling holes in your head. No they don't do it anymore just not on physical level, done on a intellectual basis, mess with your head. Early intervention messes with people's heads, this comic is still suggestive, it's not reprogramming a 3 year old brain.
