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

First creature that popped into my mind was a hedgehog, even though my spirit animal is the sloth (probably). Dunno why; I could try to analyse it, using the hedgehog's notable properties of being cute, spiky and noisy, but I appear to not be succeeding.
I hasten to add that I am not actually being flippant, at least for the time being. I suppose I have my moments.
