Just another lovely day to chat with girlfriend and stimming.
Some might not be familiar; Stimming is a repetitive body movement that self-stimulates. Hand flapping is one of common forms of stimming among autistic people. Stimming allows people to calm down, to control a specific sense, and to soothe themselves. Often, abled bodied neurotypical people condemn stimming and are embarrassed when autistic people do that in public. :(

Hey all! I decided to participate in the #the100dayproject over on instagram. It's a drawing a day for 100 days challenge. It's heavily focused on illustrations of people who are disabled and/or queer. We need more disability and queer representation :)
I'm uploading them all on here for your enjoyment.
