any disabled creators here?

it'd be wonderful to see other disabled creators on here. physical, mental, neurodevelopmental stuff, those are all welcome! i know the definition of disability can be complex but if you feel like it has a big impact on your life, then it is a disability. also, any kind of creative content counts, as long as it is yours or you give credit to anyone else involved.


i'll start! i'm Scoliwings, scoli for short, and i'm a deaf nonbinary cartoonist who's also autistic. they/them, ze/zir. mainly i like drawing furries, my art style aims to be cute and my portfolio site is here, as well as an art-only blog that i've been working on in my spare time. both sites have short comics that i've drawn, though someday i aim on doing longer comics and animations.

nice to meet y'all!

Hey I'm Rhys! I have OCD, Fibromyalgia, and autism. My art is mainly based off of late 2000's cartoon Network! And just anything I've developed into my style over the years by scouring the Internet lol.

Oh, Hellcat here! 

I have autism and some mental health issues, 

despite that I'm also an artist, collector and possible plush maker in the future, 

My artwork contains serious issues, so be warned for that!

Guess I’ll post, I’m sure I’m not neurotypical my entire family is almost certain I have ADHD, I have been told by several people I’m probably autistic among other things, I draw a fuck ton and like to write and I like photography, I use art as a form of self expression ig. I especially like high contrast with bright colors because it reflects my emotional state in a way since I can rapidly shift between moods like something high in contrast and bright colors just convey the restlessness and high energy I have. I probably got a bit rambley and went to deep into it, sorry but I hope this was interesting.

Hey there!

My name is Karma. I go by she/her pronouns. I’m a bi autistic creator and I’m a new artist on here. I draw a bunch of things but I usually draw my ocs or cartoon/video game characters I like.

Besides art I also make kandi from time to time. I have a mini collection that I want to show off sooner or later!

Rn I’m working on an mini animation for my YouTube channel by the same name that I hope to get done this week or maybe next!

I also have an insta(same name) that I’m pretty active on if anyone wants to check me out on there.

I struggle with mental health conditions, namely bipolar and psychosis, both of which affect me to the point of disability. I enjoy drawing and wish to get into writing sometime too.

Hi all! I need to try start using this platform more. I'm Hayley (she/her and they/them) and I have myofascial pain syndrome/fibromyalgia which can make it extremely painful for me to draw. I am an illustrator and comic book artist, and I take my damn time creating things. If y'all wanna see my stuff, here's my links. Cheers ✌️
