Day 5 of Auctober!

Awareness is passive. Acceptance is active. And awareness isn't just for the neurotypicals and able-bodied. We need to learn to accept ourselves. Unlearn our ableism, and proudly proclaim that we are autistic! We are disabled! We won't be ashamed of those facts!
#auctober

A one panel comic titled "Auctober" and subtitled "05. Acceptance".
Honeydew smiles cheerful as they hold an opened can of red paint in one hand, and a paint brush with red paint dripping off of it in the other.
Text at the top says "Autism Awareness" in black text. A streak of red paint crosses out the word "awareness" and below it, in red paint, is the word "Acceptance".

Sometimes, people choose words - probably without thinking twice - that either come out wrong or just gives people the wrong idea. #actuallyautistic #oc #mrseddant #redinstead #auctober #auctober2026 #rainbowinfinity #neurodivergent #elementeon #autism

AUCTOBER 2026
#5: Choice of Words
Two-panel comic: Mrs. Eddant calls a friend with her phone. The caller says "I don't recommend Beauty and the Beast for my child. The intro is too dark." Then Mrs. Eddant replies with a chuckle "What?! 'Too dark?' Well, that's a silly thing to say. A few dark themes never hurt anyone." The caller then says "I meant 'too dark' as in not colorful enough!" Then Mrs. Eddant replies with a confused expression "Not colorful-- You mean like, not vibrant enough?" A separate text bubble on the bottom-right corner says "Just after calling a friend of hers, the conversation rang in Mrs. Eddant's head all day since."

Day 4: Hobbies

#auctober #auctober2026

Black and white drawing of Ken as seen from overhead. He has a Gibson SG strapped over his shoulder. He has two tables in front of him, one with a sketchbook and one with a notebook. He is working in each of them with each hand. A movie, evidently Star Wars, shows on the screen behind him, with the subtitles reading "I'm getting sick and tired of these star wars."

Day 4 of Auctober!

When autistic people get into a hobby, they get into it HARD! I have a huge binder of cross stitching thread that I've been collecting for over 10 years. Every time I need a new colour the binder is filled out more.

What are some of your hobbies?
#auctober

A one panel comic titled "Auctober" and subtitled "Hobbies". Honeydew has a calm smile as they cross stitch. They pull the cross stitching needle up, with a red thread dangling from it, and attached to the underside of their current cross stitching project. Behind them, on a shelf, sit three finished cross stitches, which are the helmets of characters from the Star Wars animated show The Bad Batch. From left to right are Wrecker, Tech and Echo.

Can't find a good sleep schedule I can be consistent with, and when I DO find one, one very stressful day will have me back at square one. #auctober #auctober2026 #mercury #actuallyautistic #redinstead #rainbowinfinity #neurodivergent #elementeon #oc

#4: Sleep Schedule
Mercury is seen with both eyes half-closed showing he's unable to fall asleep at 5 AM. The word "RESTLESS" is seen above Mercury, and the moon is close to the horizon. A text bubble on the upper-right corner says "Couldn't fall asleep until 5 am".

Day 3: Routines #auctober #auctober2026

Black and white drawing titles "routines." Images of breakfast, dog walking, medications, and a pizza to signify work.

@autiebiographical.bsky.social Oct 3, 2026, 2:04 PM

Day 3 of Auctober!

I need my routine. Knowing when I'm doing what, what goes where, and having the steps already in place helps me prepare for the day. I've mentally prepared myself for this stuff, but having anything interrupt it or get in the way drains me of my energy
#auctober

A one panel comic titled "Auctober" and subtitled "Routines".
Honeydew looks up at a cupboard, looking away from the audience, putting a short, wide teal mug on the right next to a thin, tall pink mug on the left. Honeydew says "There. My mug must go on the right, and Ky's must go on the left."

Stimming! It's fun to be fidgety! There's even stim toys that are fun to play with! #oc #originalcharacter #actuallyautistic #autistic #redinstead #rainbowinfinity #auctober #auctober2026 #stimming #stimtoys #autismacceptance

Iridium likes to stim sometimes, and Pane likes to play with stim toys!

AUCTOBER 2026
#3: Stimming + Stim Toys
Iridium waves both of her forearms up and down as she is happily full of energy. Pane holds two orange fidget spinners, the one on his left hand spinning fast. A fidget cube, red fidget spinner and a round marble maze fidget are displayed above Pane.

Day 2: Alexithymia

#auctober #auctober2026

Black and white drawing of Ken looking up "alexithymia" in the dictionary.

@autiebiographical.bsky.social Oct 2, 2026, 2:24 PM

Day 2 of Auctober!

Alexithymia is when you have trouble recognizing your own emotions. Ask me how I'm feeling, and I'll either give you a generic answer, or shrug and say "I dunno", because I don't! Emotions are confusing, and messy, and there's way too many of them!
#auctober

A one panel comic titled "Auctober" and subtitled "02. Alexithymia."
On a multicoloured background, Honeydew peaks their head from the bottom of the panel, their eyebrow raised in confusion. A number of named emotions are floating around with question marks. The emotions are "Hopeful? Calm? Overjoyed? Intrigued? Worried? Curious? Furious? Cheerful? Surprised? Bitter? Irritated? Gleeful? Disgusted? Scared? Stunned? Hesitant? Happy? Angry? Anxious? Sad? Lonely? Grateful? Panicked? Eager? Annoyed? Proud? Jealous?"

The rainbow makes a whole spectrum of colors! Same idea with the autistic spectrum: tons of unique experiences! #auctober #auctober2026 #rainbowinfinity #actuallyautistic #redinstead #neurodivergent #autistic #oc #originalcharacter

Here's Technetium and Mrs. Eddant with the big Rainbow Infinity!

Technetium and Mrs. Eddant both happily wave at the viewer with a huge rainbow infinity symbol with them both.

Day 1: Accessibility

#auctober #auctober2026

Hand drawing of a curled piece of paper with fraying edges. It reads:

My most helpful accessibility aid.

List.

Plans that are settled and agreed upon.
Uncluttered, unambiguous instructions.
Triaged by timeliness and importance.

@autiebiographical.bsky.social Oct 1, 2026, 2:42 PM

Day 1 of Auctober!

Accessibility is so often an after thought. Instead of making something accessible from the get-go, it's an add-on.

One doesn't need to be a wheelchair user to not be able to take the stairs. One doesn't need to be deaf to benefit from subtitles.
#auctober
#auctober2026

A one panel comic titled "Auctober" and subtitled "01. Accessibility."
Narration on top says "Not everyone can use stairs, but everyone can use a ramp."
Narration on the bottom says "Accessibility is for everyone."
The picture in the middle is of a wheelchair user going up a ramp, with able-bodied people also using the ramp.

@rebeccamoodycoach.bsky.social Oct 1, 2026, 1:24 PM

Let's all say it together:

Accommodations are NOT luxuries!

Here's the first of my Auctober 2026 drawings! #auctober #auctober2026 #actuallyautistic #redinstead #rainbowinfinity #neurodivergent #caesium #red #elementeon #oc #mercury
We don't light it up blue - that comes from Autism Speaks, a hate group. We instead light it up red for autism acceptance!

AUCTOBER 2026
#1: Red Instead
Caesium wears a red tank top and red shorts while Mercury wears a red long-sleeve shirt - both shirts display the rainbow infinity symbol, and they both happily wink at the viewer. The red background displays a few red sparks scattered on the image and also shows the rainbow infinity on the top side of the drawing.
