Do autistic kids "grow out" of their autism? Why does it sometimes seem like there are so few autistic adults?

For Autism Acceptance Month, I covered this topic in this comic to help explain this disconnect! YouTube | TikTok | Instagram | Twitter

cute smile, fat soft belly, what else do you need?

This is why I say Black American music is THEE SUPREME. All from lil ol us stripped from everything, we create abundance out of nothing but soul. And this chart stops at 1992. Think of all we created 1992-present.

Sexualizing my race and skin color isn’t cute, it’s racist and disgusting. Stop sending me these “compliments” or I’ll block you. 

Ex. “I’d fuck your sexy chocolate ass” or whatever is blocked 😷😷😷

A better ex. “You’re cute and I’d fuck you so hard” or whatever is way more appealing. 

It’s like you never talked to a Black woman before.

It’s 2020 and I shouldn’t have to say this! Learn to compliment Black women/men and other people of color without fetishizing our race.

My city. My home.

I love sunsets this time of year, especially before or after a heavy rainstorm. From the cityscape to just walking around my neighborhood, it's almost like a painting happening right before my eyes. I try my best to stop and take it in every time.
