Hyperfocus is when you focus and concentrate strongly on something specific (like maybe a video game), probably for a long time.
More info: deviantart.com/dominicdelagol2

AUCTOBER 2025 15: Hyperfocus Fanart of Kirby Air Riders -- Mercury, Mrs. Eddant, Pane and Caesium hold a different game controller each as they're ready to play the game: Upper-left corner: Mercury holds a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, confident as he plays as Yellow Kirby (riding the Paper Star). Upper-right corner: Mrs. Eddant holds a Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con, also confident as she plays as Bandana Waddle Dee (riding the Slick Star). Bottom-left corner: Pane plays using the Nintendo Switch 2's handheld mode, locked in as he plays as Cappy (riding the Swerve Star). Bottom-right corner: Caesium holds the Joy-Con 2 Charging Grip, her right eye glowing a cyan light with competitive spirit as she plays as Susie (riding the Warp Star). On the middle-right section of the drawing, a text box is shown saying "Once the game starts, everyone locks in."

Panel 3: He finishes, "IT DID DULL MY BACK PAIN THOUGH." Panel 4: Syrup replies, "That's because autism results from... mating..."

Eugenics have always been a danger all over the place especially in America.
More info here: deviantart.com/dominicdelagol2

AUCTOBER 2025 14: Harmful Eugenics Caesium looks at her cell phone, disgusted as she sees the U.S. News saying "You know...an empire that can't even keep their hands to themselves...DESERVES TO COLLAPSE." (Extra text above her head saying "Insensate humans...") The "U.S. News" in question displays four speech bubbles from the phone from top to bottom: [Government claims tylenol causes Autism] ["Evidence" says that circumcision is a cause of Autism] [The "President" announces virginity causes Autism] ["Vaccines cause Autism", according to a "Christian" who happens to have nazi tattoos on their face]

It highly irks me that the r-slur is being normalized here in America. 😠
More information here: deviantart.com/dominicdelagol2

AUCTOBER 2025 13: Ableist Slurs "Mercury was curious about what America is like. Not even a minute in the conversation, and he already wants to move to a different country. (If he could, he would)" Mercury looks at his cell phone, which a speech bubble from it displays random keyboard symbols in no apparent order (!@#$%^&*) -- a follow-up speech bubble for the random symbols says "One minute on Earth's world wide web". Mercury is clearly startled of the ableist slurs' existence, saying "Wait. THAT normalized???", and Mrs. Eddant, disappointed about the ableist slurs' existence, says "Unfortunately...yes." She quietly thinks "And somehow, the entire agreed unanimously that it's an acceptable word..."

50-70% of autistic people happen to have ADHD! The term "AuDHD" is a mix of being autistic plus having ADHD.
Pane is autistic and has ADHD!

AUCTOBER 2025 12: Au-DHD Pane happily holds two words, one on each hand. The words in question are "autism" and "ADHD," and they both merge into a single word displayed above his head: "AuDHD".

Self-care is important! Always ensure you have good hygiene, eat healthy foods, exercise regularly, rest easy, have a good sleep schedule, all that stuff.
After Iridium washes her hair, she shakes her hair around so it's messy again. She's most happy and comfortable with messy hair.

AUCTOBER 2025 10: Self-Care Four-panel drawing of Iridium showering (cyan liquid -- electrionium -- acting as water), only her head and shoulders are displayed. From top to bottom: in the first panel is Iridium with shampoo bubbles all over her soaked hair, letting the shower water wash the bubbles away. The second panel shows that Iridium notices her hair is not messy (after the bubbles have washed away), so in the third panel, she shakes her hair around, drying it up and making it fluffier, intentionally making her hair messy. In the fourth panel, Iridium is happy and comfortable that her hair is now messy.

Socializing with people is not easy. As an introvert, I need time to prepare myself before speaking with anyone.
Mrs. Eddant and Iridium are both introverts, yet they both became good friends!

AUCTOBER 2025 08: Socialization Mrs. Eddant and Iridium are at the beach, both wearing a short-sleeve shirt and shorts. Mrs. Eddant speaks with Iridium, whose arms fidget with joy.

Panel 3: She finishes, "APOLOGIES, I DIDN'T ASK YOUR PARMESAN TO PUN AT YOU. I HOPE YOU'RE NOT FETA UP WITH ME." Panel 4: Garlic replies, "I think they're brie-lliant, we all have different ways to regulate ourselves and keep from feeling blue." There is a gray heart above Camembert.

Some surfaces just feel very nice to touch or even look at! I find diamondplate quite satisfying to see or walk on! Not everyday I find that material anywhere though.
Mercury loves diamondplate!

AUCTOBER 2025 06: TEXTURES Mercury feels satisfied of the diamond plate background, his eyes closed as he happily says "Mmm... Diamondplate."

Other than the periodic table, I do have a couple special interests that switch around every now and then: colored dice, Graffiti Kingdom Spore 2008, etc.
Technetium and Pane both love Pikmin! They even have a Pikmin plush of their own!

AUCTOBER 2025 Special Interests Technetion happily holds a Glow Pikmin plushie while Pane holds a Purple Pikmin Plushie. The background shows a fairly cloudy daytime setting with grass on the ground.

When masking in public or in conversation, masking can exhaust anyone quickly. Autistic people will try to blend in with the "normal" people usually trying to avoid any quarrels coming from neurotypicals that may snap at them WAY too easily, sometimes for no reason.
More info: deviantart.com/dominicdelagol2

AUCTOBER 2025 03: Masking/Unmasking Caesium lays on the couch exhausted (as seen with the "low energy" symbol next to her head), and two masks with handles are seen on the floor, both that look exactly like Caesium's happy face (one blushing with joy, the other winking).

You can notice a stereotype or two of autism in some TV shows, books, movies and more. These depictions cause more harm than people (especially Americans) want to admit.

Two-Panel comic of Mercury and the nameless American in a conversation. On the first panel, Mercury says "Look, what do you even take me for? You think I'm a gifted superintelligent computer or something?" On the second panel, the nameless American says "Well, it's...funny you say that." while thinking "Why isn't this one like Sheldon Cooper...? or even The Good Doctor." The nameless American has another thought bubble, depicting Mercury shaped exactly like Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory, holding a laptop and saying "BAZINGA".

Here's the first of my Auctober 2025 drawings!

We don't light it up blue - that stems from Auti$m $peaks, a hate group. Instead, we light it up red for autism acceptance!
Mercury and Technetium both hold the red autism acceptance flag!

AUCTOBER 2025 01: Light It Up Red! Mercury and Technetium both happily hold a single big red flag from opposite sides. The red flag in question shows a rainbow infinity, the #ActuallyAutistic symbol.

Mr. Owltistic has Candy's memory. It's fascinating to me. Meanwhile I have to look up lyrics to a song I've heard 50 times.

Panel 4: He sings, "I WAS SO TOAST, I WAS COLOGNE (HAH) DOUBLE CHIN (HAH) KISS A GAY!" Candy chuckles.

When my husband & I first started watching Miraculous Ladybug, we were sure it was just going to be utterly ridiculous and not worth continuing. Well, we continued & the show gets DEEP. We got soooo hooked we've rewatched it three times now, and there's plenty of seasons left to be made still. It's also very inclusive, especially season 6. 🌈

123: Cosplay Photo Description: Panel 1: Background is dirt ground of various browns, reds, oranges, and greens. There are patches of kelly grass around. In the very back is a burrow which is assumed to be where Potato lives, the burrowing owl present that is dressed as Cat Noir with their Cataclysm power active from the show Miraculous Ladybug. There is also a barn owl named Cupcake dressed as Ladybug from that show. Behind her is her "Lucky Charm", this time in the shape of her iconic ladybug sword. Cupcake begins, "Is it childish that we cosplay when it's not Halloween? Should I be a normal girl with a normal life?" Panel 2: Potato responds, "I love cosplaying with you, bugaboo. There isn't such thing as normal anyway, regardless if no one knows yet your secret." Panel 3: Cupcake replies, "You don't think our friends will think we're utterly ridiculous?" Panel 4: Two characters join them, one a hummingbird named Macaron dressed as a Miraculous Ladybug villain saying, "I am Hawk Moth!" and a peacock named Chives also dressed up as a ML villain saying, "And I am Mayura!" Macaron finishes, "Your outfits look miraculous-I mean give us your Miraculous!" There is a red and black spotted heart above Cupcake and a green heart above Potato.

I just had an idea I’d like to share with the @actuallyautistic community:

August could be a new Autism Acceptance Month, by and for #Autistic people, with no harmful messaging usually spread during April.

Plus, “August” and “Autistic” both start with “Au”, the chemical symbol for gold, a colour often used to oppose Autism Speaks’ blue campaign, along with #RedInstead. (Plus, gold is opposite blue on the colour wheel, too!)

What do you think?
