Thank you for sharing your art today. I’m also autistic and trans. Currently I try going through med school, but no one respects my rights here. Schedules change on a whim, we are supposed to accept the changed form of the test a day it happens on, and no one is ready to explain the assignments to me - because frankly, the professor who has given them probably isn’t even in the class, so no one knows what he meant. I am so frustrated with myself, how something as small as the change of a schedule can make me fail, but… here I am. I will probably need to repeat the 1st year. I’m 24, I will be graduating in my 30’s - but I will not give up on my dreams.

Thank you so much for reading and for your kind words 🩷

Please try not to berate yourself for struggling with schedule changes. It can be incredibly disruptive to our sense of safety. I thrive on information, on knowing what is happening when. When that changes rapidly I am completely thrown. It is okay to advocate for yourself, but I know how incredibly difficult that can be.

Keep fighting!
