Sunday April 14, 2019 - 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm


Join autistic creator Alec Frazier as he discusses multiple aspects of creativity and how they relate to autism. Questions answered will include: These are merely questions that I would love to hear the answers to: 1. How long have you each been writing? 2. As a reader (and fan), did you find a gap in available fictional narratives and characters from the disability community at large? The Autistic community specifically? 3. What author or work inspired you to begin writing? 4. What attributes of your characters are most important to you / what do you hope people take from your art? 5. What are your plans for your books and your heroes? 6. What do you think of the disabled and autistic characters currently in books, movies, and tv recently? Accurate portrayals? Good enough stories? 7. Do you see an opportunity in the open creative online brands like Netflix and Amazon? 8. If you had the attention of the major entertainment and comic publishers and brands, what would you want them most to know about your work and our community? 9. What would your action figure look like? If possible, autistic creator Liz Pritchard will join Alec.
