155: Dirty Laundry

As I said in my Discord channel. I’ve been a bit distracted which is why I hadn’t posted this page until now. The reason for the distraction? I my two part autism assessment and was waiting for the feedback appointment. That waiting time swallowed up all my capacity and motivation to work, hence the delay. But I can proudly say as of Wednesday I have been formally diagnosed as autistic.

That diagnosis has set to rest a load of questions I had about myself. Namely my struggles with interpersonal interaction and my need to 10 day’s decompression time after going away from home for a few days for any reason, including vacations and conventions. There are so many things I can now explain and thus give my self acceptance and forgiveness for. Mainly the breakdown of my marriage a few years ago.

Going forward this will give me more personally grace to allow myself to be how I am instead of trying to “push through” things I find extraordinarily challenging. Regardless of how “easy” others think it may be. So, if you suspect you’re autistic, and are finding it near impossible to allow yourself to accommodate your own needs due to not having a formal diagnosis, I strongly recommend seeking a diagnosis.

Moving onto Orbit’s progression. I have been busy socially recently too, which has left me lacking with time to set aside to focus on the production. But, things are slowing back down again, thankfully. So, next week my goal is to letter the remaining drawn up pages, so I can bulk schedule a load again. To then go back into actually drawing the comic again.
