Went to doctor. Opening polite ice breaker: "Sorry, I might smell bad; was mowing the grass." Had to talk to "nice people" who thought I said I was smoking grass. And *i* have #autism???
Having #Autism is less about what you CAN'T do, and more about what you can do...for others. #amwriting #comicbook #empathy
Thx, @DiversityAndCmx @JonMalin @EthanVanSciver. You've taught/reinforced that my #comicbook hero w #autism needs be more than a strawman. Sequential art drives story 1st/foremost.
#amwriting #comicbooks in my head whilst mowing back yard. Having imaginary conversations between hero and villain.

Love 'em or hate 'em, #JawbreakersLostSouls certainly deserves magnification of its stellar success. Few independent #comicbooks could self-publish so successfully. What's the encore? nitter.gq/EyemanIndividu1/status…
Herein, we find the downfall of "self-esteem" without measurable merit. nitter.gq/anne_leong/status/9965…
Why don't I Tweet often? @amwriting #comicbooks featuring a hero with @autism. Mainstream creators ignore us, and ignore the next generation of readers with autism. Be a hero; write a hero.
Hey, @DiversityAndCmx @JonMalin @EthanVanSciver - CONGRATULATIONS on crushing $250,000+ as an independent #comicbook. Sequential art tells (and sells) a good story; who'd have thought? #ComicsGate #amwriting
Social media give #comicbook creators viable platform 2 engage #readers. Some mistake this opportunity 4 bully pulpit. Verification stickers embolden #writers about whom we'd otherwise know little about their #politics, #religion, etc. #ComicsGate @UnsleevedMedia @ThatUmbrella
This is why I find great value in the Facial Action Coding System. Aside from family and friends' love, this research into multicultural predictive empathy has been my best coping skill for social situations. #autism nitter.gq/AnnMemmott/status/9957…
#HappyMothersDay to my lovely wife, Angela. Here, we celebrate good times with friends.
