Hi everyone, I’m interested in everyone’s thoughts and opinions on fonts preferred for those on the autism spectrum. A lot of people relay that Comic Sans is a preference. However, I don’t like comic sans. It has been used for 20 years in schools and for adults and I want to know what autistic individuals in the community think about comic sans. And explanations why it is perceived that comic sans font is preferable to let’s say arial or times Roman. I notice the Autistic Society website does not use comic sans. Which I’m glad about. Any thoughts, feeling and expressions welcome. Thanks everybody.
American Typewriter is my go to, but it suits my writing rather than everything.
When doing creative writing, I mix fonts according to the speaker/meaning/atmosphere. They're all like pictures really.
Comic sans is just plain ugly, but can have it's uses.
