Good thing I had this pre-writen up.

White and Red, Skylanders fans. I wonder what this could mean.

That's right. A while ago, Activision has released Splat, Trigger Happy and two vehicles for Swap Force in the name of an infamous Autism group. I wasn't as insulted as most were, despite being autistic myself, but it still inspired me to draw my own line of Autism and Aspergers characters.

Aspergers and Autism are not this horrible curse. People who are autistic are perfectly normal. It's true that autistic people can have poor social skills and anger issues (just that I've noticed about myself through personal experience), but these are issues that can be overcome, and is also not the case for everyone who is autistic. Don't let Autism Awareness tell you you are a horrible person for being autistic. YOU are a human being. You are just like everyone else. A normal, breathing human who laughs, cries, enjoys hobbies, and does all the things other humans do. This is the policy of the Almiraj Autism and Aspergers Association, my made-up group for the autistic.

...If anyone else is autistic and reading this, let me know if I said anything wrong or if I got it right. I'm still fleshing out my knowledge of my fellow autistic folk.


So anyway, here we have five Elemental Force characters dressed up as paralels of the Autism Awareness figures in Skylanders. Originally the colors were going to be true inversions or their White and Blue colors: Black and Red, but I felt the color black would make it feel too evil, so I stuck with White and Red. In addition, all of the characters have a Four-A logo somewhere on them. Freebird has it twice.
