Sorry to hear things are being tough for you hon.

thank you puppers!

Bummer!Sorry to hear your having crap luck.

thanks, hope things are better for you now, I know its been a long time since we spoke.

Oh good gods i am so sorry to hear youve been going through this shit. I can only hope i am never as bad as these commissioners.

On that note, hit me up sometime for commissions. I'll pay up front if you wish, and abide by any guidelines or restrictions you want.

I love how yo uh laid down the law in your journal

Alright Ryan. I think we need to talk. In the past, I've commissioned you and we have been on good terms with each other.

I think the term you're looking for instead of autistic is stupid.

Those people are indeed terrible for what they did, but to ban people with autism because of it? You shouldn't outcast those who are smart from
commissioning you since there are plenty of others with the disability and they can handle themselves perfectly fine.

I don't know if you intended it, but you shouldn't bunch everyone who has it with the people who gave you shit.

BTW, if this person is harassing you still, you should contact the authorities.

I seem to recall hiding from you for months at one point.

And why is that? What did I do exactly? We got along quite well and if you didn't want to tell me if I was bothering you, thats your problem.

It was your job as the artist to tell people if they're acting out of line because I feel like I was a good customer. Most of the time, I even enjoyed talking to you

honestly I cant remember why, I think it was because you commissioned me at a cheaper price and it was unaffordable for me in the long run, and you came to me with the same ideas every day.

at the time I didn't have the guts to say "I'm sick of drawing the same picture every day for cheap" so I just hid off-line.

"We got along quite well and if you didn't want to tell me if I was bothering you, thats your problem. "
yes it was my problem, and I didn't handle it very well at the time.

If you wanted me to pay more, I would of done so gladly. Back then, I didn't exactly have a good income, but I could of afforded to spend more regardless.

I've looked up to you and your art for a pretty long time now. Even if I don't always like everything that you put out, I can still respect the courage you have to continue to produce content in such a taboo level of subject matter without letting others convince you to stop.

That said, I agree with Rogeykun. There are people out there that you never would have guessed were autistic based on how well they hide it and don't act this stereotype you're putting forth of a stupid person with broken English. I can understand that this is coming from a place of stress and past slights, but that doesn't excuse generalizing an entire group of people as a bunch of morons.

I still love your art and plan to commission you at some point in the future, just not right now. I hope whoever is stalking you and your friends comes to their senses and stops.

I have enough problems in life without 2-3 autistic idiots making it worse, they used their autism as excuses for their behaviour and then continued to behave that way, since no one else I've met behaves that way the only outlying reason for that would be autism.

and its very easy to spot autistic people I know of plenty of autistic people but I don't mention it because they obviously try to hide it.

So you jump to conclusions because of that? What if these people are just trolls? Did you ever think about that?

no they aren't trolls, they are definitely autistic, I've seen their you tube accounts discussing how "autism is awesome!"

but let me put it another way, say you've got a choice, pay your bills and avoid being homeless, or get food and be homeless/evicted.

now say you've worked for 2 days on a 10 character commission and the person has stated they would pay 5 dollars for each character, but they meant 5 dollars for each picture.

they pay 20 dollars (in 15 micro transactions consisting of random amounts from 3 different paypal accounts)
now I have 20 dollars for food. only to get an angry post "WHERE ArE pictures!" I've already sent them off but no it turns out he wanted 20 characters drawn for 20 dollars. so I have to refund him his money, worse is there's a transaction fee he didn't pay the first time so although I only had 16 dollars from him, he fully expects exactly 20 dollars back, so now not only do I not have 20 dollars for food , but am now in debt from paypal fees.

and then he smiles like nothing is wrong cause he's too dumb to realize how dumb he is.

so there I am, after 4 days of starving and 2 more of starving while working on his commissions only to have to return the money cause his carer is going to flip her shit and demand a refund.

now don't you think someone like that should NOT be in charge of their own money?
because I know you do commissions too and you'd be pissed if I made you work for 2 days just to say I'm keeping the pictures and I want my money back.

Wow... You should of refused to refund it. I know I would.

That would really make me angry

that would look good wouldn't it "hey ms carer I did provide questionable pictures to your patient for a fair fee I'm keeping the money and don't care if he wasn't aware of what he was doing"

Look... I am planning to do a group picture for Team Instinct. If it would make you feel better, I would happily send you 20 dollars towards the amount I earn coloring/shading it. If it would help you out, I would be willing.

Sorry to hear you're having such a rough time of things. I hope things can turn around and get better for you soon. *hugs*

I think you're confusing autism with just plain being an idiot or rude person. Autism is a condition that impairs social skills and communication. You can be the smartest person around and do machine code programming for fun and still be autistic. I think perhaps you should reword your terms a bit. Maybe you should just say that you refuse to offer service for rude behavior and unreasonable demands to avoid needlessly attacking those of us who are autistic but still potential good customers. Because it sounds like you are attacking people for being autistic. An autistic person cannot cease to be autistic, but any person has the ability to be nice or rude.
