Autism is both a blessing and a curse. It's banded about all too freely now and wasn't actually a clinical diagnosis till the late 30's, prior to that, if you didn't have a loving or supportive family, you'd have just ended up in an asylum for being "Feeble minded". Some of the greatest thinkers and inventors were Autists, by the very definition, they have to be!

Who are you?

Formerly, "Amelia", I now have a new dog, Ghost, so that is my new nym🙏🏻.

Lmao this 🎯

I was just thinking about this 😂. If you're lucky, you get the good autism.

Ya only want a touch of the tism

Sonic the Hedgehog would be a little hard to draw, at least in a three dimensional way.

Just a smidgen

You team Sonic Frank?

A dash of magic rain man

I drew lots of roadrunners. Basically the same. My dad thought I traced it. Childhood ruined.

Schismatrix is a sci-fi story by Bruce Sterling set in a space faring future... At one point it describes a society that tries to use genetic engineering on a generation of children to increase their society's wealth and power. The results are ... Mixed. Some of them achieve great things, but a lot of them just wind up tunnel-vision focused on some obscure math problem, or art nobody cares about, etc

I don’t know what context this is in.

This means to be a top-level comment, whoops

Or you simply remember everything or recipe Pi for 5 hours:

In an all out war, you know they're gonna eventually take up arms against us, the bad autisms that is. They're jealous of how we normals give all the money and jobs to the good autisms and they just stewing in hatred, biding they're time, drawing Sonics until that fateful day when they begin their offensive.

Thankfully for us, the bad autisms couldn't organise a pissup in a brewry, but you still have to keep an eye on em you know?

You're the good autism, we ain't on your case pal. Roadrunner is cool af too, way cooler than sonic.

Meep meep.

Hmm.. So in Ireland there is a big issue with how you are treated if you are on the spectrum one way or the other? I just hate most governments, I don’t know much about autism wars. I just know most left wing idiots should be in insane asylums. Your government should be overthrown by the people but that is easier said than done.

Well look, shit man, we just overthrew the Gov back in '16, 1916 that is, can't we catch our fucking breath a little? Damn Frank.

You good man, no stress 🤙

That’s one hell of a long breath. You should exhale now. Relaxing for over literal a century? Damn for FFS.

1783 mean much to you?

I don’t need no hourglass I responded on 1 min 6 seconds.

both quality traits 🥳😂

A fellow Autist, I assume? I've been one since '03 or '04 I think.

You understand ASD is unscientific right? Unfortunately, any quirk became autism nowadays. It's all politics.

What is ASD? Autistic Sonic Drawing?

indeed. the real thing is not legitimate dx unless there is an autoimmune condition, and those who have this, are the real ones. the net they throw over it covers anxiety, depression and trauma-caused social maladjustment, attention deficit and manic/obsessive behaviour. the legit autoimmune-caused type, is the real thing. it can be purely genetic but even when you unpad the numbers from the vague diagnostic methods, the number of people developing this problem has been rising. vaccines are the number one cause, and non-mainstream researchers have uncovered all kinds of things involving persistent infections from viruses introduced via vaccines, that cause inflammation in the brain and other organs, wherever the virus can lock itself to a cell and inject it's bullshit. this compounds with a lot of other things, some caused also by vaccines, but many caused by food additives, GMO foods, seed oils, artificial flavors and colorings, the addition of fluoride to water (which compounds in food processing) and the use of permanganate to precipitate "woo heavy metal iron" from the water supply - which is a big factor in attentional disorders, chemically induced frontal lobe damage - also manganese based antifungals, which i attribute the base of my own ADD as being from, compounded with psychological trauma from practically non-stop abuse from my social circle that only pretty much stopped when i learned to recognise the marks of tormentors. seed oils, fructose sugars, and artificial sweeteners cause kidney and spleen and pancreas problems, and i got the hepA/B jab 1999 and 2006 which both i attribute to precipitating a psychotic period in my life that followed in the year afterwards, and have contributed to worsening my allergic asthma. so, yeah, like everything the media talks about, they isolate it, ridicule those who are suffering but diagnostics have failed to actually find the right solution, which is most cases, because it's in the food, stupid. frustrates the hell out of me, because i have a new friend recently, who suffers the same allergic asthma that i do, who has clear signs also of fructose and seed oil damage in his weight and low energy, and a marker of kidney damage is constant rage about everything, which i have confirmed in many discussions with people who also are obsessed with railing against injustice... turns out they also have been poisoned. so, yeah. indeed, ASD is a very wooly, improperly defined diagnosis, as are many other of the increasingly frequent incidents of various kinds of neuro-psychological-immune problems, and the doctors just load you up with drugs that suppress the symptoms, meanwhile your organs continue to be poisoned. frustrating because people want to believe that accusation of "poor character" because they have been brainwashed and traumatised to blame themselves instead of understanding that they have been manipulated in so many ways, that a dozen threat vectors are involved, and none of them acknowledged by the mainstream medical science.

💯 I've been harmed by vax as well, I still have chronic pain due to it....
