Hi all,

If you like my "Dude, I'm An Aspie" cartoons, please check out my appearance on Autism Empowerment Radio! link

Wrong Planet was one of the first places I ever posted my work, and it was instrumental in getting it out there to a larger audience. In this extended 45 minute interview, I talk about how I started my cartoon, where I get my ideas, and life as an autistic adult. Enjoy!

By May, your blog might have to be renamed "Dude, I Used To Be An Aspie."

Well, one interview isn't going to shed the Aspie status, believe me. I'm still feeling grateful to have survived in one piece. :D

I was referring to the declassification of Asperger's Syndrome and PDD-NOS according to the upcoming DSM-V.

Nice! I enjoy your comics, and I shared the kids version with someone I know who suspects their kid is on the spectrum.

(And I can relate to your bit in the interview about the server closet; the one at work got noticeably louder recently. I think I was the only person for whom this stood out. :P )

I just listened, Matt. It was great! We check in on your cartoons regularly. Glad you are doing well with the books too.

Yep, two other people had that office before me, and it didn't bother them at all. They look at me like I have three heads. 8O
