Cw: early death and ableism, so which is why you’re getting a picture of all the friends instead of a picture of my face. Hi everyone, I hope you’re doing well. This isn’t a happy blog, even if I’m back Read more

An image from a wedding reception. Five people in their thirties are positioned underneath a gazebo. The bridegroom (white, dark hair, dressed up to the nines) is in a cardboard boat, in the centre. With him, a thirty-something year old white woman smiles kindly. Next to her, a thirty-something year old dark-haired white man in a suit is biting his lower lip as he appears to pull down the gazebo. In the centre of the image is Jorik, a 36-year old autistic white gay in a suit wearing his father-in-law's tie, with a face that describes a self-insert teacher character in an Alan Bennett play. To my other side, a white man wearing glasses giving double middle fingers and wearing a facial expression of deep rage. The last man in his thirties is wearing a hat, dark sunglasses and is leaning in a fashion reminiscent of a human doing an impression of a motorbike. These were my colleagues when I was teaching English as a Foreign Language in Oxford, 2017-2020.

A picture of a white autistic man in his mid-to-late thirties, wearing glasses and a stripy shirt, from an unflattering angle. The other 7 people are sitting at a picnic table with freshly mown grass behind them. Everyone is autistic, from a variety of backgrounds and colours of hair.
