Who'd Chose To Be The Chosen One?

All five chapter title spreads from my upcoming artbook, "Windows to Worlds" which can be pre-ordered through the Kickstarter campaign here!

I actually hate that I can’t learn shit.

 I’ve been tested for everything from autism to ADHD, for every learning disability that exists and is out there, and I have none of them, none. I got tested, I’m cognitively above average in everything except for math, where I scored the exact average. I pick up patterns and gain info from context clues instinctively. There’s literally no reason for me to be unable to learn anything.

 I’m also 26 and can’t read an analogue clock. I know that when all the pointers are pointing to 12 then it’s 12, and if one pointer points at 12 and the other one points to a different hour, then it’s probably that hour, but other than that, it’s all white noise to me. I literally can’t learn valuable skills or information purely because they’re valuable. It’s IMPORTANT and USEFUL to know what time it is, and therefore I can’t learn it.

 There is literally no cognitive reason for me to be like this.

putting an episode of bob's burgers on each time I'm eating like a medieval king calling for his jester at each supper

the autistic charlie kelly (sorta) masterpost:

trouble controlling the pitch of his voice, yells a lot but doesn’t always intend to

good at setting routines for himself, and following them, even though other people view them as strange or bad

his mail system w/ burn/send to himself/deliver

the cat food/beer/glue system when dee spends the night

trouble interacting with people outside of the gang

auditory processing issues

it can also be like hearing what someone says but not understanding any of it

has a restricted diet bc of sensory issues

hasn’t eaten a lot of fruits (not necessarily bc sensory issues)

tries a pear and has an immediate sensory reaction (i.e. saying it tastes like sand, because even if it wasn’t ripe most people wouldn’t have that adverse of a reaction to it)

eats foods that he knows are good sensory-wise frequently (i.e. cheese)

also creates foods that are pleasing sensory-wise (milksteak)

also likes dark places bc sensory issues

sewers n stuff like that

stims by shaking his legs, tapping his feet, tapping on things with his hands

stims when happy vocally (shouting things) and by clapping

stims when angry/upset by shouting, pulling at his hair, and sorta cupping his hands over his ears, touching his face

bad at regulating his facial expressions (maybe)

‘the gang solves the gas crisis’

talks with his hands all the time 

sometimes to try to get across what he means when he has trouble communicating it verbally

special interest in musical stuff, writing songs/music

gets really stressed out about major change

leaving philly for the first time

frank moving in w/ his mother

doesn’t own many shirts, maybe bc sensory issues?? idk

misinterprets what other people are saying (maybe auditory processing stuff)

‘the gang gets analyzed’

echolalia
