As soon as the federation kicks in and links your instance to mine, I'll subscribe! I have ADHD without autism (as far as I know lol), but I've been lurking here out of neurodiverse solidarity.

Hey, I love your name! Go Sun-Spider!

Thank you! I may have just watched Across the Spider-Verse when I was making my account 😄

I still need to watch it, I'm so ready to see it too. Sun-Spider actually has the same disorder I do, so it's so cool to see the representation like that!

That's so cool! They only appear very briefly, but I immediately went away and looked them up. I didn't know about them before! I have a favourite uncle with a spinal injury who's mostly in a wheelchair, but can get around on crutches, so I immediately felt connected to the character. I'm a huge fan of more disabled representation.
