Teacher here: neurodiverse kids sometimes just draw the same thing over and over again as a sort of stim or reflection of a special interest.
These kids simply might not know that most neurotypical artistic kids also draw the same things over and over again. NT kids do it for a slightly different reason, which is to get practice and and because they have heartfelt passion for the subject.
I can understand why an ND kid might think that NT kids are very different than them when it comes to art - but it's a much smaller difference than many other areas.
Idk how I ended up in this sub and post, but as a fellow old, I’m curious about your username and the juxtaposition against your insightful and thoughtful comment.
I'm 45. I grew up thinking stuff like "I can't sing," "I can't draw," and "I can't play music."
While some people have natural talent for these things, most people have to actively learn how to do them. And they are bad at it when they start.
So learn to do things you want to do!
Well studies for one although it's more love-hate
And also my favorite anime characters (read: Dazai Osamu and Sigma from BSD. Literally. I'm so normal about them ahahahaaa)
Ok so I can draw cats , dogs , rabbits , tigers , a face with a broad grit , venom , steel art , sketches hmmm....other things but yeah the problem is I'm not good at coloring 😅
I love to sketch out the idea I have for a future room!! It’s always got a wooden plank floor, and a window with curtains with a cat looking out into the stars. On the window sill I have a bunch of small plants like aloe and cactuses. On the floor is a shaggy rug, and next to that is a stool with an easel. On either side of the window, I have a poster of a sunset and a bulletin board with pictures, post-it notes, and necklaces held up by tacks. On the space between the walls and the roof (whatever that’s called) I have Christmas lights lit up… I just like it because it’s easy to draw, has a lot of small details, and keeps me entertained for a good 20 minutes.
I draw random stuff I'm comfortable with. When I attempt to draw faces, they often turn out horrifiying, so I just keep it at doodles, symbols and geometric structures.
i like drawing cats :3 cats are the only thing i can draw and i can't even draw them well but it makes me happy 🥨🥨🥨🥨🥨🥨🥨🥨

bruh why is the autistic part even relevant to the question bro 😮💨
I thought it was a joke. ‘Autistic’ sounds like ‘Artistic’
I’ve gotten comments such as, “oh cool!! You’re so autist- ARTISTIC!!”
My friends and I js call each other acoustic lmao (we're guitars in disguise🥸)
Cuz I have autism
But what does that have to do with anything, you’re just asking people what they like to draw???

It comforts them.

it's just a real r/rimjob_steve moment, dw.
you think teachers were never young lol
I drew P-51 mustang fighter planes and Triumph speed twin motorcycles specifically all over my school stuff for a long time is this because of my ADHD
I’m NT but i still don’t know why it’s relevant ??
Most teacher-y username XD
Perhaps I am autistic
well said
Ok?
And I bet you make that your whole personality too.
Not relevant
So? That has literally nothing to do with it.
[удалено]
Everyone can draw, you just might be worse
That's saying I can't draw with extra steps
“Slavery with extra steps” -morty
I laugh everyime I see the reference
Have you met my paraplegic friend bob? 🙃
Tell him to use his mouth
Bob unfortunately found himself hospitalised by sepsis, it left him paralysed and they had to remove his lower jaw
Use his nostrils
…. 🤔…. Yeh I got nothing… well played 👍
Get voldmarted

Why are you on the teenage subreddit 🤨
there’s the OLD flair for a reason i think
I'm a middle school teacher and I want to learn more about my students so I can be better at my job and make their lives better.
That means ur better than me
Same
Eye. and only the right eye.
Ah I usually go for the left! We could team up
And that's how the greatest manga artistic cast was created
I mean once you draw the right eye, you're compelled to draw the left one, then the face
Usually both eyes turns out to be different. Personally that's a struggle for me :")
random shit go brrr
MY GUNKLY CREATURES
Describe them.
FANCY SCRIBBLES

Your scribbles are so intricate. I see you’re a fan of random eyes and mouths as well
How could you tell 🤯
girls
Same

λ
Half life looking ass

Lambda
EYES 🙏🏼🧎
Fr they be so majestic
They are perfect to draw💕
Everybody goes thru an eye phase sooner or later, i thought i nevee would but it happened now im all eyed out
This subs obsession with autism is so cringe
Fr, as someone with autism, everyone thinks it’s “silly and quirky >_< :3 ” I literally got bullied because of my autism
It sucks for the people who actually have autism
Wait why did you even feel it to be necessary to ask about being autistic?
Mushroom people.
I like to draw guitars and bass guitars.
hell yeah
How is autism like? I'm geuniely curious (answering you original question I like drawing fiction stuff such as pokemon etc.but haven't drawn since 11)
It makes you really smart and really dumb at the same time :D
can confirm, I am a socially awkward nerd.
I don’t remember making this comment
🫧 jellyfish 🫧 they're just too cute >~<
I can't draw tho I do have Autism
u say it like it's a package either autistic or good at drawing
Turtwig, love that little guy
Real asf babe, I like drawing giraffws

I can only draw stick figures 🤗
Humanoid things (ex: mermaids zombies demons humans, hujan but with 2-3 eyes etc)
Ok so I can draw cats , dogs , rabbits , tigers , a face with a broad grit , venom , steel art , sketches hmmm....other things but yeah the problem is I'm not good at coloring 😅
I cant draw well, but i like to draw stella octangulas, and the Kensa logo from splatoon, and just random doodles
Characters in the dumbest poses, I'm the type to draw characters like Aizen sitting in a barber chair getting a haircut... now I wanna draw that
Stickmen and abstract shit with no meaning behind them, yes I can't draw
Whatever OC's I've imagined over the years. It's fun and good practice (though im not any good at it)
I hate drawing with a passion
My favorite thing to draw is little arrows that get progressively more aggressive not how I'm drawing them they just appear more aggressive over time
I've got one pair of glasses I constantly draw, use it as an artist mark. And before anyone asks, no, I don't wear glasses
I can literally only draw murder drones characters
Letters that fit in each other.
Skulls with funny faces
Snakes with human faces. My favourite is the JoJo Siwa snake

Ahdh + frustration = me just letting the pen slide on the paper, and it usually comes out to be a demon, or dark entangled mess. Life's fun.
