#autistics of color

LIVE
Image of a rectangular comic panel with an angry, tired red haired woman off to one side looking down at the viewer, saying: "PLEASE. stop. writing. about. Mars." She's labeled as 'highschool english teacher'
Next comic panel is looking down on the blank face of a darker skinned young teen with bushy black hair and a loose red shirt. They are looking up at the teacher off panel. They are labeled 'highschool me'
A third and last comic panel, similar to the one before except the teens pupils are huge and shining as they simply answer "no".

I took it as a challenge. Its my special interest and I say when we’re done, mam.

(yes she really said this)

Throughout #autgust I will be posting portraits of other Autistic People of Color to celebrate the diversity of autistics and challenge the way society has engrained in us to see autism.

“You don’t look autistic.”

Yes I do.

Here’s Part 1… Everyone in this^ post is a nonbinary autistic person of color. These are volunteers.

Enjoy!
