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
Hi trainspotter, yes thats a very interesting point of view as well! thanks for joining. Yes i do know what you mean - neuro typical people do confuse me too in certain ways they act. Or things they say. I try so hard to think about what I say before i say it, so it doesnt offend people - and yet others will just come out and say it and act shocked when I say I'm insulted. So i very much see where you're coming from.
So what would you say these creatures surrounding the person would look like?
