Ability : Emerging from the Social Constraints on Neurodivergence and Disability

by Andrew Coltrin

A series of thematically linked vignettes about ability, disability, autism, mental health, and gender. Mostly writing and a few comics delve into topics like "emerging" as an alternative to "curing", using the Autistic Union identifier as a nonbinary autistic pronoun, thoughts on what it means to succeed in life when you aren't succeeding at being "normal", various types of neurodiversity, when to disclose your neurodivergence, the trouble with social skills education and so much more.

I love personal accounts and introspections from other Auties/Non-neurotypicals. It’s really cool to see where I can relate to their experiences and see my neuro-experience reflected and represented out here. Found myself laughing along with the robot humor and several other parts. This was fun and validating.
