A dog, with thumbs!
In September I learned that I was autistic. I'm 28 and thrown for a loop, but, I'm hanging in there. This piece came out through my grieving of "what could have been", trying to remind myself that...I have an answer now. I have an answer and things /can/ get easier. I can learn to grow still.
I won't lie, I feel pretty hopeless. I feel like a fraud. My last 2yrs of psych help I admit was a Poor Match, but it really broke me down and defeated me. I'm incredibly overwhelmed with the task of having to tell my entire life story to somebody new again and just...hope that they believe me (but my brain is a scramble 24/7 and I can hardly articulate my thoughts and feelings verbally. It's so hard...
I'm trying to give myself hope again, b/c I know I'm slipping. So...i'm sharing my sketch work.
Pictured is a cartoony Canine (a Borzoi/Silken windhound) holding a potted plant. The plant is a small scraggly vine with few/small leaves, tied to a support-stick to aid in it's upward growth.
The picture reads "Learning To Grow" - also some scribbled notes on the side that are irrelivant to the picture, just artist notes for me to finish the picture in the future.
