just wanted to say thank you @BooksandChokers for creating AKOS, it saved me so much last year after being diagnosed with autism at 18. experiencing a real life Mrs Murphy 9yrs ago, which made me lose hope in all teachers (apart from 2 English teachers who i’ll be thankful for)..
and it still affects me now as a uni student, seeing the representation really resonated with me and made me feel seen, especially with Keedies story. i’ll always be thankful that it was created and gave me something to relate to🫶
Your donations towards my efforts are greatly appreciated and not only that, but they will also be a huge help in creating a society that works for all autistic people and their families, thank you! 💜
…because this was the first photo where i was diagnosed, and finally had an explanation for everything, a month away from sitting alevels, while trying to understand and accept myself that i was never going to be ‘normal’
