A comic anthology about autism, made by autistic creators.
Autism is widely misunderstood and there is a great deal of stigma surrounding it. But if we were to tell you that many of the things you think you know about autism are wrong, would you believe us? Our book aims to take you on a visual journey through the lives of over 40 autistic creators and show you the breadth and diversity of our experiences in an accessible way. We hope to provide a tool for allistics, neurotypicals and folks who are questioning whether or not they're on the spectrum to better understand autism.

I would have liked more organization with the book and some potential editing by peers (the other contributors) before publishing. Clearly separating comics a little better, adding some theme organization/grouping. I also didn't expect a more conservative comic in a book that was promoted as being in an LGBTQ genre, but, to be fair, that's on me. I understand that not everyone is going to approach things the same and that's a big theme of the book - diversity.
