Autism Awareness Month 2025

April is Autism Awareness Month (or Autism Acceptance Month)! This is the time of year when our mental disability is promoted and celebrated. We may struggle greatly in social interactions, but our ingenuity is often without parallel and has contributed greatly to those who do not have autism (called neurotypical). Some of the greatest minds in history had autism, including:

Albert Einstein

Michelangelo

Sir Isaac Newton

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Nikola Tesla

Elon Musk

Alfred Hitchcock

Ludwig van Beethoven

Charles Darwin

Samuel Clemens (aka. Mark Twain)

This picture features two OC characters that have autism: Nerr T, a Toad from the Super Mario series, created by yours truly; and Penny Dimes, created by @Dymarob for his comic strip Penny and Judge.

A shoutout to all my fellow ASD's here on DeviantArt, and I hope you have a wonderful rest of the month!
