Aspies For Freedom

Wanted to make a thread like this too for once.

I've the experience that people see my drawings completily different from the way I see them. Sometimes I believe it is obvious what it is supposed to look like, but apparently not. Not easy to get people to see the right gender on a character either. The other day my psychologist who always try to be as nice as possible guessed that the pic I currently have in my signature was supposed to be a girl I had met, while it is really a self-portrait of mine.

So I'd really like to hear how my appearance on the forums is perceived. No need to be brutally honest, but I wont go berserk if you do.

Well, I do occasionally remark that you have the hair of a female

me thinks you're a cool guy. ^^

Thankee!

Nice fence you're sittin on there.

Your real life picture--I think you're kind of cute.
Your art used to really bother me but I've gotten more used to it--desensitization or something.

Your posts are generally kind and insightful.

I like you a lot, Ivar.

I think you are one of the nicest guys here. I must be one of the only ones to think your avatar is cute.

ditto.

I think you have the ability to reason very well - probably better than most adults (me included) - You seem to have a very deep intelligence and strong moral integrity.
I like you lots.

I like your avatar - haven't seen much of your artwork.

No more?

I really appriciate your compliments.

I don't think I've been much good at giving compliments even though I think people write great stuff.

Your cool; I probably wouldn't have taken up drawing if I hadn't see your art.

Hey!  That's the one I voted for!

me too.

I'll be blunt.

I voted for no2.
