Nobody wants to be pandered to, And I was just watching (for the second time) this video about Autism and Sonic.
so what do you do when Autistic people (Good GOD Excluding Cris Chan) are your audience?
let's see....we love colors. COLORS UNLIKE ANYONE SEEN ON EARTH! yeah, I know not everyone is into Lovecraft, trust me I can't even INCH reading Randolph Carter at night. reminds me too much of the Benny plot in "I have no mouth and I must scream".
first of all, we love colors and music as well as cool visuals because it STIMULATES US. Ever try and watch an anime?
really stimulating stuff. heck! I want to parody Anime ala' Austin Powers, Spaceballs and Airplane! ya know? so that it's not all jokes about
big boobs and idiots going "GA-HO!" or....or even Speed racer and Pokemon copying.
so we got colors, like in something like a video game (like Sonic) an anime (like My Hero Academia, my favorite!) a movie, a book anything!
and we need music that SLAPS! like in video games like from Nintendo, something exciting like 90s EDM, and why stop at
electronic sounds? me personally? I love me some futuristic music. but I also like Frank Senatra. Threes days grace, Evanescence,
yeah I don't know too many Jazz artists, but I love Emo/alternative Rock and Techno. remember TMBG?
but then you have cool visuals. take a look at a Pixar movie. real cool stuff! the parachuting army men, Buzz Lightyear's sounds and lights and
what not! Pizza Planet, the visuals of the world building behind Monsters inc! the racing of Lightning Mcqueen! the fight scenes of the incredibles,
Wall-E, the adventures of UP! and who could forget the time they hit close to home with Inside out!? (I'm still not seeing Inside out 2. and nor will I see Toy Story 5)
want other examples?
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm okay, the ever prescent Anime, you have video games that don't just stray away from Sonic and another franchise created by a kid with autism who loved collecting bugs AHEMMMM EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHEEEEM WE DO NOT SPEAKO OF CWCO!
look, I could go on forever with the idea of stimulating expiriences. from Rollercoasters to video games, anime, Eating at a good restauraunt that serves food we like such as ANYBODY BUT KFC! (God I hate KFC!)
there's the idea of certain Genres like sci fi and Fantasy
there's swimming,
there's learning about Dinosaurs.
there's the internet itself. lotsa fun stuff for us, right?
and if you want to make something for Autistic people don't forget to make the characters really likable with tons of great personality!
and this all brings me into my next point....
special interests. some peeps I know have like usually interest in something basic. like Anime, which I can respect. I love anime.
and then there's stuff like Video Games, Cars, the Military, 80s Horror....
but what happens when you reach out and tell an autistic person "this is why you're feeling what you're feeling. and here's how you're gonna deal with it." I strongly reccomend looking up a guy named "Lorne Lanning". the creator of a game I feel is calling me every Tuesday afternoon to Thursday evening called "Oddworld".
his game is a little disturbing, but he's trying to tell us all about a universal truth about humans and the problems we have in the world.
seeing the problems of the world broke his heart, and despite loving video games, Toilken Novels, Disney and Jim Henson and influences from
Dr. Suess, he had a horrible childhood plagued with alcohol and divorce.... and he used to escape into these worlds he created with guys with AXES AND SWORDS....soon, Nature became his only friend as a child. he is not autistic, but he has a lot to say in his interviews about how he feels about things. from Starvation to the understanding of how the world works, that, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand the nature of Dopamine to Indegenous Culture to
animal sciences. if you take a look at his work, a lot of it looks like the cross between Chuck Jones and George Orwell. weather or not the Cartooniness is intentional, he was inspired by 1984.
and then when you look at it this way: people have special interests in autism because they picked it up from an early stage in life.
when I was 1 I saw Toy Story and I loved animation itself ever since. special interests are sometimes all we talk about! I tried to be relevant
while buying a suit at Moore's and All I could talk about was Jimmy Nuetron and I was like "I CAN'T DO THIS!!!"
it's hard, isn't it?
I can't see myself doing anything else sometimes, but we all have different interests that foreway into something we just simply cannot shut up about!
we end up looking like nerds for a lack of a better term. and when we talk about the interests of ourselves we often get loud, we talk about it insesiently
we get excited, we talk about it and .....really, a lot. when we meet potential partners..... for love lives..... we end up having them taken away from us because we might be treated like a child. trust me, It's happened to me a lot. and now I have a crush on someone I really want to be with....and I won't get into detail. the last thing I need is people trying to be my long distance therapists.
I don't know what else to say here,
but if you really want to be there for us Auts,
provide an escape.
like Winnie the Pooh's Hundred Acre Wood was a safe space for Cristopher Robin and his imagination.
like the Pokemon World...
Cybertron and whatever battle the Autobots and Decepticons wanted to get into this time or the next....
and why Spiderman had to solve the latest crime....
and why Cuphead and Mugman (god this is going to be an esoteric one) had to pay off their ....gambling debts ????(I never played Cuphead)
we need escape. we live in a world where there are mean people from school teachers who think we can't do better than preK
or like people who think all Autistic people are like the Tazmainian Devil.
and the people who use the R word like it's candy.
some people need escape from their family, what if your parents
are getting a divorce?
what if you're in an abusive relationship?
or your someone you know is drinking?
think about it!
I personally like to escape into animating.
I love making these animations that I've been making more frequently in updates in recent times, and now?
well....take what you will from this.
I would love to hear what you have to bring about to this conversation....how would YOU appeal
to autistic people?
let me know!
