Touched By St. Matthew
Touched By St. Matthew
Matthew the Apostle is the patron saint of economists, civil servants, bankers, and, for some reason, perfumers. This is probably because he is a he was a tax collector in the traditional stories. Rowan probably doesn‘t take this seriously. It’s just a tidbit she’s collected to troll Brian with.
He certainly seems “touched” to her.
Crossing The Pass
Don’t think too badly of Wendy about being impressed by a mountain pass. Not counting plane flights, she’s never been farther east than Lake Washington.
Dielle is referring to an unknown episode of her cross country trip to Homestead. While she’s most likely exaggerating, don’t expect to get anymore details out of her.
A Plan For Everyone
A Plan For Everyone
Brian has shown several times that he has a plan for everything… and everyone involved with them.
Olive probably realizes this enough to be in complete denial about this.
No one said they were good plans, after all.
Just Checking In
Checking in on Bert’s progress is a very important thing to do. You don’t want him to improvise anymore than necessary.
Another All-Nighter
It’s no secret that Brian is notorious for pulling one all-nighter after another on a project, only to crash after a few days.
This is something Rowan dislikes. Especially when he does it the night before a big meeting. It’s not as if he’ll make the firm look bad, it’s just the principle of the thing.
Looking Out For You
Looking Out For You
After Tuesday, Fran wonders if Isra Nyx is looking out for them. She certainly was looking out for something.
Buffer
Gage, sweetie, Dielle’s helping you out. Her saying she gave you a buffer to make sure you’re not late isn’t implying anything.
Anything Paul and the others are saying, however…
With more children getting diagnosed as autistic there’s more and more parents realizing that they’re also autistic. It’s a beautiful thing.
POCs and women are statistically less likely to be diagnosed as autistic. This not only means that they have a harder time getting a diagnosis, but they’re also less likely to be believed by the general public.
This is so harmful, and needs to stop!
Masking isn’t a manipulation tactic, it’s a shield, and one that I hope I can put down for good some day.
I feel that imposter syndrome within the autistic community is so common. We’re constantly told “you don’t look autistic” that sometimes we believe it. It’s okay though. You’re not alone in feeling this. Don’t listen to those doubts, and embrace your autistic self!
April is Autism Acceptance month! You want to be accepting? You want to be supportive? Be accommodating.
People will say they accept autism, and then berate us for being autistic. Don’t tell us you accept us when you regularly punish us for being ourselves.
When I get insulted by people whose opinions don’t matter to me I can shrug it off pretty easily.
When a loved one gets insulted by ANYONE I’m ready to throw down, Canadian style!
And this is one reason why I still wear a mask when I go out. I never know when a random coughing fit may happen simply because I suck at swallowing my own spit.
I verbally stim when I’m really happy. People used to bully me for it so I learned to be ashamed of it. Now, years later, my partner has helped me unlearn that shame, and embrace my verbal stims.
I hate going to the dentist so much! I had a gap between two of my molars that made it so I couldn’t chew on the right side of my mouth for 2 ½ years before finally getting it fixed. That’s how much I avoid the dentist.
No hate towards dentists though. You do important work, and I respect that.
More people getting diagnosed, especially when they’re still children, is a good thing! This isn’t an epidemic. This isn’t over-diagnosing. This is more and more autistic people being properly diagnosed.
Functioning labels are a common way autistic people are denied support.
High functioning? You’re fine without support. Low functioning? You’re not high functioning enough to determine whether you need support or not.
I’ve been accused of being in a hate group, as well as a cult, all because of my advocacy.
Life as it is (p1)(891)
I’ve been planning to do a series of comic for a long time. Well … that’s the first page. I do not know what it will result in the end. May appear and some kind of plot. but for now it will be independent pages with life situations.
P.s.: I hope nobody bites me for the fact that the first pages will have a different style of design ^^’
