Upon receiving an autism diagnosis within the family, our experience unfolds against a backdrop of overwhelming negative judgment and baseless assumptions. Regrettably, compassion and a genuine desire to understand and empathise are often in short supply. The family, perhaps unknowingly, becomes a breeding ground for discrimination against those whose neurobiology differs from their own. In their obliviousness, they assume an air of omniscience, convinced that they hold the keys to unravelling the complexities of parenting an autistic child. To them, the solution seems simple – just follow their advice, and all our perceived 'problems' would miraculously vanish. Unbeknownst to them, there exists an underlying desire for the neurological difference to disappear, as if eradicating autism would conveniently align with their vision of an ideal existence. Yet, all the misguided notions and attempts to sweep autism under the rug cannot erase its presence. We, in turn, embrace our brilliance and individuality, refusing to conform to others' expectations or bow to societal pressures. As we navigate this journey, we eagerly anticipate the day, if it ever comes, when they recognise the magnificence of being autistic. Until then, we stand resilient, shining brightly in our own unique light.

Most of these artworks were created several years ago, creatively processing the early days of learning later in life; I was Autistic (among other brain differences), and the challenges I faced when I made adjustments in my relationships based on my neurobiological differences and diverse needs. The digital artworks were created for a podcast my friend and I had together, where we unpacked our experiences as neurodivergent humans. My approach involves asking probing questions specifically created to uncover complex traumas. I developed a method of self-inquiry and introspection designed to bring awareness to one's inner world. By delving into my subconscious and exploring the reasons behind my choices, beliefs, and emotional responses, I essentially acknowledge and understand myself at a deeper level. This self-awareness is crucial in personal growth, healing, and making positive changes. I work with paint, pencil, ink, spray paint, recycled substrate, fabric, clay, and vintage materials to assist the self-understanding, acknowledging and positive change process. My work involves asking, waiting, watching, quiet listening, inner knowing, storytelling, memories and subconscious answers.
