a few years ago there was an exposé in the intercept about how, according to the fbi, police departments are so thoroughly infiltrated by white supremacists that it's policy to avoid working with them when possible. just something to think about

There are places where a diagnosis will cost thousands of dollars. Places where there are no doctors that diagnose adults. Then there's racism and sexism on top of all that.

Then, of course, there are the downsides to having an official diagnosis that some people can't afford to deal with, but that's a whole other conversation!

Hyperfixations never die. They just lie dormant until they are reawakened by someone randomly mentioning them.

Much like how Xanatos reawakened the Gargoyles by raising Castle Wyvern above the clouds!!!!!

This was a comic I made at a fan's request.

Autistic POC are severely under-diagnosed and underrepresented in autistic spaces. I can't speak for them, but there are plenty of Autistic POC creators out there who you can learn from!

I suggest Fidget and Fries on Facebook and Instagram.
