Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

But it is tho. Being an actual adult is taking care of yourself and maximizing what you can do and how to do it. How best to support onesself. Not suffering for the sake of suffering and then insisting everyone else suffer as well.

Huh? I dunno how to break it to you, but being an adult is about handling your shit. You get your shit done. No excuses, no h alf-assing things.

If you use a disability as an excuse to not handle your shit, you aren't adulting. And that's coming from a physical cripple. You find the tools you need, you find accommodations that get the job done.

Now, much like with physical disability, neurodivergence can mean that you simply can't do the same things as anyone else. That's why things like ssi and ssdi exist, they give you room. I'm not talking a literal job in all cases, I'm talking about getting the shit done that is within one's ability to perform.

But there's always a point where a person has to decide to either handle their shit or punk out and use their limitations as an excuse. And that's what the cartoon is about, imo.
