Autism and Tickles
After seeing this poll (which I highly recommend you look at before it finishes), I was a little surprised how many autists are in the tickle community. I'm not autistic myself (or at least I would never suspect so,) and so I had mostly just assumed tickling was something y'all probably wouldn't like due to sensory issues and overstimulation, and those kinda things.
Honestly I was quite surprised to see how much the autistic community is represented among other neurodivergents. (At the time of making this post, the poll is 43.8% autistic, or about 153 people.) I'm happy to see my previous assumption was proven quite wrong, and that the autistic and tickle communities do have a decent enough overlap.
I say this, not just to promote the poll, but because I had always loved the Autism creature. Always thought he was such a silly little guy, and wanted to see tickle art be made of him.
I had initially hesitated, as I feared it might be a little insensitive to portray the little autism spokes-creature in a situation that most autists wouldn't actually appreciate. Having seen the trends in that poll however, I now know there is enough of an audience that might appreciate this...
It's not the best art, but it came out better than I expected (their legs were so hard to get right).
Anyways hope you all enjoy, and hope you autists can have all the loving tickles you could ever want.
