comics

Hi everyone, I'm passionate about comics and would be interested to hear from anyone that shares this passion. I'd like to know what comics you enjoy reading and why? There are so many different types of comics out there, all utilising different techniques and different artistic styles. What are your favourites? I'm trying to develop a comic for individuals with ASD. A comic that would be entertaining, informative and something that individuals with ASD can relate to. I do not have ASD myself so I am trying to increase my awareness of the condition. I'd really like to hear everyone's opinions, good or bad, after all communication leads to understanding.

  • Thanks for the reply Pixiefox. During my research I've encountered clinical trials of Dual Coding Theory which presented positive results of improved learning in children with autism spectrum disorder. The combination of text and image stimulated parts of the brain that were not stimulated by text alone. For example, scientists at the Center for Cognitive Brain Imaging at Carnegie Mellon University conducted a brain imaging study which showed that in people with autism non-visual material is processed in the visual parts of the brain. Of course, every person with ASD is unique, I'm well aware that not every person with ASD is a visual thinker. However, if there are signs of improved cognitive activity by combining image and language (and there are) then surely this would be an excellent way to assist learning with individuals who have difficulties with language and communication. I'm not suggesting it's going to help everyone, not everyone needs help after all, but it may help some people, which gives it positive value. I'm grateful for your response.
