Thread on Twitter by kael: "This part of autism doesn't get talked about enough, so i sketched a little comic (1/3)"

I have several of these health issues. Anecdotally I've met a lot of people with long covid like me who are neurodivergent, which makes sense because these associated physical issues can put you at higher risk.

Ehlers Danlos is another common comorbidity that isn't talked about that much.

Wait, hold on, all my life I've had this thing that mostly happens when I eat something that tastes very strongly, or when I touch something hot, but I'll just make a sudden jerk movement that I can't control. It's sometimes quite a big movement, like knocking back my whole arm in a way that could hurt someone if they were standing very close. I always figured it was related to autism, but that might be a seizure? Wtf?

I had one seizure in my life, in the middle of an ice rink, didn't know it could come with that, but that would also explain which side of the family is the tism coming from.

My bowel is completely fucked so it checks out

Damn, my ass is autistic
