imma high tension wire: perzine about late diagnosed autism
“imma high tension wire” is my first perzine, a very personal story of my life as a late diagnosed AuDHD lil guy who struggles with noises, connection, and having a stable sense of self. Intersperced with my own original art and written as a way to explain my existence and daily struggles to my family, I hope this helps other people like myself feels seen.
the design of this zine is based on a construction/maintance practice called lockout/tagout, where when something electrical is under maintenance and could be dangerous a tag is placed on the electrical box warning others that it could be dangerous to disturb. I like that analogy, and it matches the concept throughout the zine of my brain as a malfunctioning electrical system that needs a teensy bit of maintenance.
