i am someone who identifies as nd but doesn& #39;t have a proper diagnosis, (ableist parents won& #39;t let me get one). if you follow me on tumblr and read my tags (does anyone actually read tags?) you might have heard me say i don& #39;t really love it when people re-blog (1/10)

my comics with tags like & #39;luz is a dumbass& #39; or & #39;luz is so dense omg& #39; - i see a lot of my nd traits in Luz and her reaction/lack of reaction to Amity& #39;s crush IS really relatable to me, not in that i think i& #39;m stupid or dense but that i have a hard time properly interpreting (2/10)
peoples feelings towards me. So seeing ppl comment & #39;wow luz is so dumb& #39; on my art does make me a little sad but honestly i& #39;m so overexposed to ableism in my life IRL that it doesn& #39;t phase me much. you might be saying & #39;han, if you don& #39;t think luz is dumb, why do you make (3/10)
her out to be like that in your comics?& #39; when i come up with a lot of the ideas for my comics i& #39;m usually drawing from personal experience - i& #39;m writing luz to be ME essentially. one thing i adore about this show is how relatable it is and SPECIFICALLY the relationship (4/10)
between amity and luz has helped me feel better about my misinterpretation of social cues/relationships and writing comics about this is part of a process i& #39;m going through trying to help myself realize that that& #39;s okay. I know a lot of people find my comics humorous (5/10)
and I& #39;m so glad because I want them to be, but it is a little disheartening when I see comments/tags like & #39;wow luz is an idot& #39; etc. because I see myself in her. anywho dana& #39;s comment about luz being a & #39;bone head& #39; did rub me the wrong way a bit but again i see that type of (6/10)
language on my tags and comments almost all day so I wasn& #39;t too phased. that being said i would really REALLY like to see less of this verbiage thrown around in the fandom. I know luz isn& #39;t necessarily canonically nd but i also know there are MANY nd fans who see (7/10)
themselves in luz and i& #39;d hope we try to give them the respect they deserve. i don& #39;t have any hard feelings against anyone who& #39;s commented these type of things personally, i& #39;m a very forgiving person, but i just thought i& #39;d say something so i feel better. (8/10)
LAST THING: if you ever feel like any of my comics are offensive or ableist, please please tell me. I always want to be improving myself and my world view. I hope everyone knows that I want my acc to be a safe space for everyone and i& #39;m willing to make changes so it is. (9/10)
anywho sorry for that very long, kinda depressing thread but this was kind-of on my chest and I felt like I needed to put it out there. and thanks for reading if you made it this far
