While I try to figure out a way to make Ruby Quartz Panic Room available online, here are all of the “Hanging out in Imaginary Bars with Cyclops” strips from the zine.
I would really like to make this some kind of ongoing thing, maybe, someday. Which would probably require finding someone else to draw it, or another way to put it together. Hm.
A busker plays music for a blind autistic girl sitting in a wheelchair. She’s being allowed to stim (flapping and rubbing her shirt) and respond to the music her own natural way. The busker places her hand on the guitar to let her see what is creating the music, and she smiles as he sings to her.
They made a connection.
That is autism acceptance.
Take note. Many autistic people will open up to you like a flower if you gently connect with them in ways that work for them instead of forcing them to connect with you in ways that only work for you.
I hope that sweet kid grows up to be a musician or artist! :)
Can we please stop making scary shark movies? Sharks are pure sweet babies that don’t deserve this slander. They just have bad eyesight. Don’t be mean to them.
