An Autistic Dictionary

For a few months during 2016, I collected autistic people’s favourite words with paper and online forms to compile into a dictionary zine by and for autistic people. I put it together into a paper zine in October 2016, and made a PDF available online for free.

Link to purchase a paper copy from Folksy ~ If the Folksy shop is out of stock, please feel free to email me: cassian DOT lodge AT gmail DOT com. I can restock the Folksy shop or we can arrange a purchase outside of Folksy. Environmental stuff: The zine is home-printed on recycled paper and card, hand-stitched with cotton thread, and posted from the UK. I buy my power from a company that produces 100% renewable electricity.

INSPIRATION

This zine was inspired by this comic on Par La Fenêtre.

About Andréa’s webcomic:

My name is Andréa, I am an autistic trans woman living in France, and I draw comics about my experiences as an autistic, depressive, anxious and trans woman.

Her comics are thought-provoking, often funny, often sad, and a very relatable representation of what it’s like to be autistic. You might already know her ABC of Stimming series.
