--- Quote from: Thrillho on 02 Jun 2016, 05:09 ---Whether Brun is written as being on the spectrum or not, the recent arrival of a number of people who either are on the spectrum or have some expertise in the area shows something which I had kind of forgotten about relating to QC.
QC, the comic, is to me largely about normalisation for those on the fringes of society. Put-upon minorities who deal with shit on a daily basis. QC lets these people be themselves in a wider social circle, not as saintly, role model characters but as actual people with thoughts, feelings, grey areas, pros, cons, admirable qualities and faults.
QC is, for those of us who fall into one or more of these minority groups, a port in a storm, a place where we can get a 'slice of life' comic where that life may actually have some semblance of accuracy to ourselves.

As a bisexual trans Aspie, you have defined exactly how I feel about this comic. Thank you.

Dang, could you guys sticky that somewhere?
Well said, good Sir. Well said!
Welu:
Not autistic (but was screened for the possibility) but in my deep depressive phases, routine was the only thing that kept me going for a long time. Having the same checkpoints to meet made daily life smoother and helped me be aware of my physical, mental and emotional energy levels.
I often talk to myself like Brun is in today's strip. It can help calm the nerves and refocus my brain.
cesium133:
I also talk to myself a lot... it annoys the people I work with.
Also, since I talk to myself in English (it being my native language), it confused the hell out of people when I was in Brazil. I'd get confused while trying to speak Portuguese, start talking to myself in English, and then everything would go to hell in a handbasket (at least in terms of me being understood).
sitnspin:
Routine is pretty much essential for me to maintain balance. I I'm not autistic, but I have a fairly severe mood disorder coupled with related psychosis. I have a daily yoga and meditation practice that if I don't do it gets increasingly hard to stay stable.
