If your Autistic child, friend, partner, family member, etc seems "dramatic" due to their routine being disrupted, they're not. It is truly world breaking for them when it happens. It feels awful. And it isn't their fault. Have patience, and take it a step at a time.

132: Routine Photo Description: Panel 1: Nighttime in an overgrown pumpkin patch background. Sky is purple gradient with shining stars. Grass is long. Green, white, yellow, and orange textured pumpkins have vines. There is a cockatiel named Lemon and a stressed oriental bay owl named Dumpling. Dumpling begins, "I woke up ten minutes late today!" Panel 2: He continues, "So I have to skip my 6:30pm breakfast, which means I'll be hungry during my 7:30pm workout, then too tired for my 9pm singing, and by then too burnt out to eat my midnight lunch..." Panel 3: Dumpling finishes, "My entire routine is disrupted and it truly feels like the end of the world!" Panel 4: Lemon replies, "Your feelings are valid. Let's take this one step at a time. We'll start by getting you breakfast. It'll feel different eating later, but you'll no longer be hungry, then you'll have energy to exercise and sing. Then we'll try again tomorrow." Dumpling is feeling a little better.

I love watching specific cartoons or playing specific video games over and over! They're just that fun!
Technetium and Iridium both like watching Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy a lot!

AUCTOBER 2025 25: Repetition In this three-panel comic, the first panel shows Technetium and Iridium happily watching their favorite cartoon, Ed Edd 'n' Eddy on television (screencap of Ed, Edd and Eddy eating jawbreakers), being their first cartoon playthrough. The second panel is literally the same drawing, only it's their second playthrough, and the TV shows a screencap of Ed as a woodpecker (except with dirt). The third panel is the exact same drawing again, only this time, it's their 37th playthrough (Yes, they really like to watch Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy a lot), and the screencap on the TV displays from left to right: Johnny 2x4 & Plank, Nazz, Rolf, Kevin, Sarah and Jimmy, all waiting at a bus stop.

In my own words, Executive Dysfunction is when one feels sluggish physically and/or mentally, temporarily unable to do or plan much.
More info: deviantart.com/dominicdelagol2

AUCTOBER 2025 24: Executive Dysfunction Mercury lays on a table, looking unhappy knowing he's just laying there doing nothing at the moment when he really wants to do something. He thinks "C'mon, move. I'm supposed to go on an adventure." He wants to go places, but feels to sluggish for some reason." (the Executive Dysfunction in question)

In this neurotypical society, anything can happen, and going outside at all is scary enough as is trying to keep yourself together.
More info: deviantart.com/dominicdelagol2

AUCTOBER 2025 23: The Outside World Mrs. Godara, Pane and Mrs. Eddant are standing on a sidewalk, showing a fence and leafy background behind them. Pane and Mrs. Eddant are both scared, and Mrs. Godara tries to tell them "Don't worry, you two. The Philadelphia Zoo is only one block away from the car." Pane, scared, replies "Easy for you to say! What if a police officer opens fire 'cause they feel like it?!", then Mrs. Eddant, also scared, replies "And how far is a 'block' supposed to be?!"

I've gotten some dark threats just for liking candy corn. Some people take the food wars thing too far, especially for people not wanting to be involved.
I'm okay personally with lighthearted joking with folks I know. But I've met some MEAN people who use it to justify outrageous bullying and said I deserve to get bullied.

Rye begins, "I'M SO EMBARRASSED!" Panel 2: Rye continues, "THEY CALLED ME DISGUSTING, VILE, JUST FOR EATING CANDY CORN!" Panel 3: He finishes, "I COULDN'T EVEN FINISH MY PINEAPPLE PIZZA LUNCH OUT OF DREAD!" Panel 4: Pepper responds with a wing on Rye's shoulder, "I can tell them to mind their miserable business. It's perfectly okay to like different food not being forced on them. Enjoy your safe foods, sweetie." There is a purple heart above Rye as he eats candy corn.

Eugenics have always been a danger all over the place especially in America.
More info here: deviantart.com/dominicdelagol2

AUCTOBER 2025 14: Harmful Eugenics Caesium looks at her cell phone, disgusted as she sees the U.S. News saying "You know...an empire that can't even keep their hands to themselves...DESERVES TO COLLAPSE." (Extra text above her head saying "Insensate humans...") The "U.S. News" in question displays four speech bubbles from the phone from top to bottom: [Government claims tylenol causes Autism] ["Evidence" says that circumcision is a cause of Autism] [The "President" announces virginity causes Autism] ["Vaccines cause Autism", according to a "Christian" who happens to have nazi tattoos on their face]

It highly irks me that the r-slur is being normalized here in America. 😠
More information here: deviantart.com/dominicdelagol2

AUCTOBER 2025 13: Ableist Slurs "Mercury was curious about what America is like. Not even a minute in the conversation, and he already wants to move to a different country. (If he could, he would)" Mercury looks at his cell phone, which a speech bubble from it displays random keyboard symbols in no apparent order (!@#$%^&*) -- a follow-up speech bubble for the random symbols says "One minute on Earth's world wide web". Mercury is clearly startled of the ableist slurs' existence, saying "Wait. THAT normalized???", and Mrs. Eddant, disappointed about the ableist slurs' existence, says "Unfortunately...yes." She quietly thinks "And somehow, the entire agreed unanimously that it's an acceptable word..."

50-70% of autistic people happen to have ADHD! The term "AuDHD" is a mix of being autistic plus having ADHD.
