My name Is Michelle and I am a student at the University of Gloucestershire, studying Illustration. My project I am doing is focusing on six different disorders/ illness's (such as autism, depression, anxiety ADHD, Bipolar and tourettes) I am focusing on autism at the moment and would greatly appreciate any help any of you can give me. I personally was born with Aspergus syndrome, so I am sympathetic to people out there like me.
Its quite hard finding people with autism to help me with this project but I was hoping some of you could. What I need is for maybe two or three of you to individually tell me what autism would be like as a creature and I'll draw it. What you picture it as. Then I will bring it back to here and show you if possible and ask if that's what you meant. I will keep doing it until you are happy with it. I can even put fake names on the research project if you are uncomfortable with having your real name or screen name shown.
Someone please help me ^_^ thanks so much. Michelle
artist just popping in said:Thanks so much for your message ClaireHigs! I find it really interesting reading peoples experiences and interpretations of these type of things. So i I were to draw a situation, would having an anthropromorphic cat sunbathing under the moon at night on a beach with a reflector, suit your idea more? With the relevance explained underneath. Or would you rather somthing else?

I think my favourite time is more sunset than night actually. When there's enough light to see, but it's not sunny. My favourite artist is Thomas Kinkade because of this, as he painted light but often from the perspective of being in shade. I like it when the sky is red/orange with hues of pink/blue. I don't leave my home now. But my ideal outdoor experience would be a quiet beach at sunset. I don't know about a morphed cat/human. As when people humanize animals I tend to get annoyed, because I see animals as better than people. And I find it offensive to the animal. But it's up to you.
