Happy Autistic Pride Day!

Being autistic can be rough...and it can be a lot more difficult because of how we're treated. If you're autistic, please take a moment to celebrate yourself today! If you're not autistic, please tell an autistic person you care about how important they are. For what they bring into your life, for what they bring into the world, and just for being themselves. Want to give a special autistic person in your life a gift? A gift card to a place where they can buy a stuffie, stim toys, or their favorite foods is always a good idea! Let them pick out their own squishmallow if possible rather than picking for them, as they're each a different squish experience. Remember you are important, you're beautiful and you bring joy to this world just by existing and being yourself. Please be kind and loving toward yourself.

7 square cards for the “Autistic Affinities Visual Card Game By April Marie Mai.” The top right square has orange ink line abstract painting with 2 lines of white showing behind a teal circles watercolor, with a dash of sprinkles of color from one of my abstract Color Explosion paintings in pink, blue, teal, yellow, green and white. The square below that has a purple allium flower, which is made up of many purple flowers in a globe, a photograph of some of my sketchbooks as a strip on the left side, and blue watercolor splatter along the bottom. To the left of that is a drawing of mine of circles in black ink touching each other, each a slightly different shape because they were drawn by hand, with a white paper behind it peeking through on the right side and the bottom and rainbow splatter from my abstract paintings all over. The square to the left of that one has a mirrored close up of one of my abstract paintings, with mainly hot pink around and a diamond with stripes of darker hot pink, blue, yellow, white, orange and purple inside; the top fourth of the image has teal hand drawn circles on top and there are two purple and yellow pansy flowers in the bottom left corner. The square below that has a mirrored abstract pattern in sky blue and pomegranate red with bits of white and olive green, creating red stars and curved corner star shapes; the bottom left half of the image has hand drawn circles in a slightly different version of sky blue. The square to the right of that one has a hexagon pattern with seafoam green, blue, orange, yellow and black abstract drawing with outlines in black ink and filled in with circles and dots, with a watercolor line going vertically on the left side in seafoam green with a thin graphite pencil line within. The last square in the bottom right corner is a close up photograph of dots on white paper in sky blue, with squiggly lines going up and down the left side of the image in black and black watercolor splash on the bottom half.
