somehow I feel like I can relate to this in someway of myself when I told my mom that putting me in a religious group even with others like me meant putting on a mask to try and cover that side of myself that I didn't want others to know of before I start to trust them. I'm autistic and yeah sometimes I did feel like I was wearing a mask when I was meds for what my parents and doctor thought was ADHD when I went to school and when I was much younger. For me when I first found out that I have autism I was pretty much like Bandit, I pushed it away and didn't want to accept it until I did my own research on it through other autistic youtubers, even subbed to a few of them. It was about 4 years ago until I did finally accept that being autistic is what makes up me, like how Bandit hugged Trash at the end. I tried to word this right without it sounding stupid.
@@celestiafanforever I completely understand this !! I personally am queer and also neurodivergent, so I put a lot of symbolism/things (no idea how to explain haha) to hopefully make people feel comfort/shared experiences etc or represent that feeling of putting on a mask to fit in society, and knowing that it’s okay to be yourself and you deserve to be your true self regardless of what a society thinks! I am glad that you have accepted yourself and wish you all the best being you! ❤️ hope this comment makes sense i’m not the best with words^^
@@draivysand I'm still learning about autism, especially trying to find ways to calm down when things get overwhelming, stepping away to cool down has pretty much helped especially if things get chaotic, as in people talking over one another and each voice just mixes into one. And don't worry, I'm not good with words either, sometimes when I speak to family or friends I get tongued tied and just end up squeaking to get everything back on track.
This is gorgeous!! I too have just finished my HSC, and I did a major work for art as well. Your work is just incredible and well-done, I would not be surprised if you got into art express!!
@energizedviper42 omg thank you so much!! awesome to see a fellow aussie doing art :) unfortunately didn’t make art express but got into my animation course which is all that matters!! wish u all the best in ur future :)
So cool ❤ I was originally doing an animation this year but lost motivation and ended up turning what I made into a series of sculptures. The serious dedication you had for this is amazing and it turned out wonderfully ❤
I love this, especially how I relate to it with masking my autism.
I am so happy you can relate! It means so much that other people see it that way too, as I would mask as well
