My Frustration Asperger's-Related Art
4 years ago
What's Reptu up to this time?
I want to explain where this need to make this kind of art is coming from. It's from my dad, mostly. He frustrates me where it seems like he dismisses all that I am going through. Thus, all these art pieces are my attempts to get through to him, and show him what it is that I'm going through. I'm extremely happy that he wants to know what it's like from my perspective, even though it's hard for him to see it. But I'm trying, and hopefully, one day, he'll finally understand.
The reason why I'm pointing this out is that I don't want any of you to think that I'm making this art, because I'm getting angry at you guys. That's all. So if you see any more of these pieces, just know that it doesn't come from a place of anger towards you guys; it comes from a place of anger of my dad and/or myself.
It's not a pleasure for me to make these kinds of pieces, but I have to do it to let out my emotions. I would much rather have myself working on what I want to work on, as if nothing else mattered. But hey, this is what it is, and life has its ups and downs.
Even though this art comes from a place of my suffering, at least there are bright sides to this. One, through these pieces, I could raise awareness of autism spectrum disorder; these kinds of pieces would be helpful to other families who are in the same position as I am. And two, when I really think about it, I tend to make the greatest, most powerful pieces at times when I'm not doing well emotionally. I've realized this when I heard of the concept "the tortured artist" through the video below. Feel free to check it out; if you don't, no worries. It just spoke out to me, as an artist who has my fair share of hardships.
Anyways, you guys are awesome, and it gives me joy to see whatever you're up to on this site.
(And sorry if I don't respond to your comments. I don't reply when I'm not in the mood to. But I appreciate all that you do to comfort me and empathize with me.)

You've definitely described some of the aspects of having it that I wasn't aware of it.
And if creating art is a way to let you vent, go for it. Whatever keeps you healthy in a way Reptu.
Aw, and thank you on that! Creative is certainly the way to go, because oftentimes words don't capture these complex feelings that go inside of me. Also, it's good that it's something productive. I'm just thankful I have somewhere to share these thoughts and drawings with those who won't judge me and will for the most part alleviate my issues.
