hey how u doing ;) your work looks really cooool! i lack colour in my work :S so i want to start subtly adding it in :) I really like the wrestlers 1! are these personal projects?
I just read the below comments too. One of the contestants on America's Next Top Model season 9 (Heather) had Aspergers and it was talked about a lot. She was the nicest and least judgmental of the contestants, and probably the only one (I don't remember it very well) who didn't speak negatively of the others. She opened a lot of eyes to Asbergers. I just searched the web and you can read about her including interviews if you're interested. http://www.wrongplanet.net/article355.html
hi there
thanks for commenting on Knowing It's Called Aspergers 22 8]
in answer to your question: i'm afraid i don't know where to get a professional autistic-spectrum diagnosis, as i've never had one myself, i've just heard what the traits of Aspergers are, and pretty much all of them fit me perfectly, so it seems logical to conclude that i have it. sorry i can't be more help on that! but the important thing to remember is that a diagnosis doesn't change anything. it might explain some things, and help you to understand certain aspects of yourself better, but it doesn't change who you are, and it doesn't place any limitations on what you can be and do.
it only took me 2 or 3 weeks after being told i've got aspergers, before i'd completely accepted the idea, and gone right back to being my usual nerdy self, just as if i'd never heard about it. so, don't worry yourself about it too much ;)
hmm, long comment. sorry to take up so much space on your page... 8p

Hey Amy yep, do mock-ups for the articles in place of the illustrations already there. a good way to do it is to scan or photocopy the article, blocking out the original illustration. then you can do your version without thinking about the 'real' one. have a look in my illustration folder- i've done uploaded some mock-ups i did from horoscope pages in a magazine. you keep to the same size etc as though it's a real brief.
