Synesthesia means the senses can be crossed! One might feel colors, hear the flavors, taste the music, and/or more! #auctober #auctober2026 #actuallyautistic #elementeon #periodictable #redinstead #rainbowinfinity #oc #originalcharacter #iridium #bluehair

Iridium can feel the music playing nearby!

AUCTOBER 2026 #10: Synesthesia Iridium looks impressed to notice not only is she hearing the music, she's also feeling it with both her arms -- the cyan lines of music notes are displayed as though they were scarves on her hands.

Day 9: Queer

Snuck this one in under the wire. And hey, it's a pencil drawing this time!

#auctober #auctober2026

Self-portrait in pencil, seen from the side, nude but hazy. The only thing drawn in sharp detail is a Superman tattoo with bisexual pride cape on shoulder.

Day 9 of Auctober!

I have my theory as to why autistic people are more likely to be queer. My thought is that we tend to care less about societal norms, so we're less likely to hide in the closet like neurotypicals tend to do.
#auctober

A one panel comic titled "Auctober" and subtitled "Queer". Honeydew cheerfully holds two flags. One is the nonbinary flag, with yellow, white, purple and black stripes, and the other is the demi-aroace flag, with a black triangle, and white, purple, green and grey stripes. Honeydew says "Autistic people are statistically more likely to be queer than the general population."

I love soft pretzels! They taste so good it's just so calming! #oc #originalcharacter #pane #food #pretzel #actuallyautistic #auctober #auctober2026 #redinstead #rainbowinfinity #elementeon #autismacceptance #autistic
Pane can't deny a good soft pretzel especially from the Philly Pretzel Factory!

AUCTOBER 2026 #9: Safe Foods Pane happily eats a soft pretzel. Four more soft pretzels - all shaped like the number eight - are connected to each other adjacently displayed on the upper right corner of the drawing. The background shows blurry imagery of the Philly Pretzel Factory.

Day 8: Glimmers

(The notation is supposed to be the beginning of the riff from Van Halen "Somebody Get Me A Doctor" over and over again, which I found unexpectedly difficult to write at extreme/reverse angles.)

#auctober #auctober2026

Black and white drawing of Ken playing "Somebody Get Me A Doctor" on guitar, replicated over and over again in a curved chain going from left to right.

Day 8 of Auctober!

Glimmers are those small moments of joy that help regulate us. Those perfect sensory delights that soothe us, and help us recover from the stresses of life.

I never got the hype of squishmallows until I finally was gifted one. Their soft squishiness make me so happy!
#auctober

A one panel comic titled Auctober and subtitled "Glimmers". Honeydew cheerfully hugs a cute, squishy dinosaur plushy. They loudly proclaim "So squishy!!!"

Autistic people show empathy differently compared to neurotypicals! #auctober #auctober2026 #actuallyautistic #rainbowinfinity #oc #autismacceptance #autistic #redinstead

Mercury figured Iridium wants to listen to music whenever she needs a quiet space, so he brought out some headphones for her!

AUCTOBER 2026 #8: Empathy Iridium wears green headphones calmly listening to music received by Mercury's phone.

Day 7 of Auctober!

Autistic burnout is something I've been trying hard to hold off. It isn't just the burnout that's rough, but recovery too. Every tool I use to regulate myself don't work anymore. I'm hoping I don't fall that hard again, and I'm taking breaks when I can, but I'm so tired
#auctober

A one panel comic titled "Auctober" and subtitled "Autistic Burnout". Honeydew is slightly bent over to the side. Smoke is coming out of their ears. They look tired and sad as they say "Hello skill regression, overloads, meltdowns, shutdowns emotional dysregulation..."
@dominicdelagol2.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 7:08 AM

Yes, I do like to play a specific video game over and over -- could be Graffiti Kingdom, Robot Arena 2, Pocket Tanks, Kirby Air Riders, etc.! #oc #originalcharacter #green #technetium #redinstead #rainbowinfinity #actuallyautistic #autismacceptance #auctober #auctober2026 #elementeon #periodictable

AUCTOBER 2026 #7: Repetition Technetium holds a video game container with the "Graffiti Kingdom" cover on it. A text bubble on the left says *planning a 20th playthrough*. (extra text for this post itself: "Technetium is planning another playthrough of Graffiti Kingdom!")

Day 6: Sensory Profile

Black and white hand drawn comic strip of a guy washing dishes. Dramatic zoom in on his face as his sleeve gets wet and he freaks out.

Day 6 of Auctober!

Everyone has a different sensory profile. There's seeking, avoiding, sensitive, and low registration. With touch, I'm sensitive, but with sound, I'm seeking. Sensory profile encapsulates more than just the five senses, including things like balance, and bodily awareness
#auctober

A one panel comic titled Auctober and subtitled "Sensory Profile". Top text says "Honeydew's Sensory Profile." Below the text, on the left, is an ear on a yellow background, and text under it saying "Seeking". On the right is a pointing hand on a purple background, and text under it saying "Sensitive".
@dominicdelagol2.bsky.socialOct 6, 2026, 6:54 AM

Throughout my life, it always felt like neurotypicals expected me to be "normal" in some manner. #oc #originalcharacter #caesium #elementeon #periodictable #rainbowinfinity #redinstead #actuallyautistic #autism #autismacceptance #auctober #auctober2026

AUCTOBER 2026 #6: Define "Normal" Caesium happily waves her hands, indicating she's fidgeting. A few music notes appear next to her head. The American Anon yells at Caesium saying "YOU'RE AN ADULT! JUST BE NORMAL!" which Caesium replies as she fidgets to spite Anon "Bleh. Request invalid."

Day 5: Acceptance

@autiebiographical.bsky.socialOct 5, 2026, 2:12 PM

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

AUCTOBER 2026 #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".
