I imagine that when anyone feels emotions of strong intensity that it makes them uneasy and that is diificult for them to deal with it.

Now imagine not knowing how to deal with regular emotions. Imagine not knowing how to deal or even process your emotions and the emotions of others. Imagine not having the ability to filter out which emotions you want to absorb from others from the ones you don't.

Then imagine not having any kind of social instincts about yourself or others to help you cope with any of this.

Then you'll get a glimpse of what's it's like to be someone with autism.

I'm sorry for the drama. I don't like to rag on my disorder (especially since I think it's given me a lot of gifts neuro-typicals just don't have), but it's so hard to deal with my emotions when they reach a certain intensity.
It's like there's a painful chaotic mass inside me that wants to come out, but I have no idea on how to let it out. I don't know why it's there or how to express what I'm feeling, so it's almost impossible for me to let it out or for others to help me let it out.
It gets so intense somtimes that I end up hurting myself by accident or crying like a crazy person because I can't deal with it.

Anyway, if you're worried about me, don't. I drew this in response to something that happened weeks ago, and it's already been resolved.
I just needed to let out the last few shreds of emotion out.
It's definitely not up to par with my usual work, but hey, that's not the purpose here :D

Don't worry, BlueJay is coming. I had to redo the first pages (and I think everyone will like them much more than my old ones :D)

I just looked at this one again, and I have to say I love that you used so many colors to make the dark shadows. Like a whole bunch of indescribable emotions that pile on top of each other to just make darkness.

You probably did that totally on purpose, and I'm probably silly for not noticing it when I liked it the first time. But, oh well. I like it a lot.

I don't want to say I understand, because I don't think anyone can ever truly understand someone else and what they go through 100%, but I can try. And if you ever feel like this, just know we're here if you need to vent.

Well I don't have autism and understand it much but I do know that what you're feeling is something like how I feel. So It's okay to cry. Everyone has to let out emotions. You're only human darling. I cry almost every night because I feel like such a failure to life. But then I think of my mom. How she'll be if I hurt myself or took my life. She'll be awful. So remember that we all care about you. We'll be hurt if something happened to you. Sorry if I sound kinda stupid just wanted to let you know. :) But I'm glad the problem has been dealed with. Sorry!
