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.

Nothing about us without us! Seriously, neurotypical adults have talked about autism and didn't include autistics in the conversation.
Here's Mrs. Eddant, a happy self-advocate!

AUCTOBER 2025

Mrs. Eddant's hands happily fidget as she displays a message in rainbow letters just above her: "Nothing about us without us." The background is colored cyan with a couple sparkles scattered everywhere.

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.

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.

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!

Some people might say you don't look autistic, assuming that autism has a "look" of some sort. To this day, I'm still not sure what that's even all about.
Mrs. Eddant works as a high-school gym teacher. She has a kind heart with more empathy than anyone else in the school. Just don't get on her bad side - she hates it when someone starts getting ableist.

AUCTOBER 2025
"You don't look autistic"
Three-panel comic: A nameless student in a blue shirt says with a smirk, "Hm... you don't even look autistic. You actually look--", his last sentence interrupted on the second panel where Mrs. Eddant says with calm anger "Oh, you don't say? What gives you that idea?" She thinks "Ugh... It's one of THOSE students again." The nameless student tries to talk, saying "I'm just saying...", and the third panel follows with Mrs. Eddant's anger leaving the student scared. Mrs. Eddant looks at the student with a glare, making sure he doesn't get ableist again by saying "AND THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK. You're talking to a school teacher."

Additional text box is added on the blank bottom left corner of the drawing, saying "Mrs. Eddant is a high school gym teacher. She sees the good in students, all of which are usually nice to her, but a few can get on her nerves if they say anything unnecessary especially behind her back."

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.

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.
