Autism Awareness Month by monkfishlover

While other people use this month to try and spread information about how they think all autistic people are suffering from their autism, I wanna show that we aren't all suffering! In fact I like being autistic, and several other autistic people do too! Also my autism is Asperger's Syndrome! :D Also the dragon in the pic is my scalesona Lophius! Since she is based on me personality,etc-wise, she is autistic too! :D

I keep forgetting you're autistic... *shrug* I guess you're only as disabled as you feel, eh?

@nintenartist The autism symbol in general is a puzzle piece or puzzle pieces. There's no rule about what shape or color it has to be portrayed as.
@infestation Yes! :D

D: I hope you can overcome any struggles with it that you have... And is the suffering due to the social awkwardness or sensory overload or some other part of Asperger's?

By overcome I mean make the hard parts more manageable, since the whole condition can't exactly just go away.

It's mainly social awkwarness! Thanks for the support!

I have Autism and ADHD too! The autism doesn't bother me, bu the ADHD makes me rage and destroy things, it bothers me so much! I feel like a very very evil version of Wreck-It Ralph when that happens. xD But I like my autism. Without my autism, I wouldn't have known almost everything about Mario.

I have aspergers too. Personally I love it. Its a great escape from all the crap and pressures real life puts on you 24/7. I can live in my own world why would I ever want to be normal... sounds extreamly boring...

i have asperger's as well. i'm pretty proud of being an aspie but i just wish i could express myself in better ways for others around me to understand.. and my sensory sensitivity is taste so i'm always scared that my eating habits are going to make me ill since i can only eat a few things. :c plus the new social aspects of middle school were so stressful for me, my mom pulled me out of public school and has been homeschooling me for the past four years. i feel so alone sometimes.
